need to either update or preferably reinstall the BIOS.
All other operations, OS install, etc, depend on a correct BIOS set up.

Subject: Weird PC Problem
| I have a computer system 800mhz with 256meg ram, I had an error pop up
| about the CMOS battery.
|
| So I replaced it and now when I went to log on, it reported that the
| CMOS setup had changed.
| This is to be expected, so I said OK.
|
| Now it would not boot in, so after this weekend trying to get it to
| work, I decided to scrap to OS
| and reformat, and re-install.
|
| So I loaded up the boot disk for Windows XP Home. Began he installation
| of Windows XP.
|
| Now my problem is that it will get to about 25 minutes remaining and
| lock up HARD. Meaning the
| only way to reboot the machine is to hold the power button down for a
| few seconds.
| CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing... The machine was working fine. I had the
| updated McAfee virus
| software and DAT files. So I ruled that out. For some reason it will
| not finish the install.
|
| Now I used the same Windows XP CD Rom and tested it on another machine
| and it loaded fine.
|
| Any sugegstions, why after a certain point it would cause the system to
| lock up and no longer continue
| the installation process? I am hoping someone has ran into this problem
| before.
|
| TIA!!
