Hi all,

On my friend's machine, win 7 is installed. Sometimes when I restart the machine, it freezes at start up and doesn't go on Windows logo and starting the OS.
Restarting again doesn't make change!
I need therefore go into BIOS and click on "Load default settings" although it is on default settings from before.
Then I restart the machine and it goes to OS!
What is the problem please?
The mobo: American Megatrends MCP61m - M3 11/03/2010

First thing I'd do is check the battery on the motherboard.

Other Info
This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
