Go into your pcs bios setting and make sure all the settings are correct especially booting from a disc is first. Then try and reboot your pc with the g os disc and see what happens. If this fails and you are still getting the same messages then the cmos battery in the pc needs replacing (just a little battery costs about £3 or £4 pounds) as if you entered all the info in the bios and saved it then it should all work fine.
