Windows 7 Pro-Replaced the cmos -now i can't even Boot up in Safe Mode
I got an Alert telling me the system voltage as low--i replaced the Cmos battery--it was 2.3V. Now the PC which is a Dell Optiplex 780--Windows 7 PRO--won't boot to the Wndows 7 logo. I tapped F8 on startup & got to the SafeMode choices---will not even boot in safe mode. Have rechecked the battery install---looks good at 3 V. I'm having trouble remembering my user//password as an admin. lol . HELP !! I think the HD settings in Bios have changed so that the SATA drive is not visible on startup. I see 2 small pieces of the Windows logo & then it goes to- " Windows was unable to start " choices of F2 or start normally---neither work. Wish i had known about that before i swapped batteries.
