hmmm, sounds like you may have lost the power
from the motherboard battery. its a 2032 battery
and if it dies, youloose all of the cmos settings
like the time for example. you may need to
replace the battery and then set the cmos time
and that may fix the problem. unless it cannot
recover all of the other settings to tell what is
exactly installed on your system. i would for
sure purchase a new cmos battery and try that first.

Hello, everyone.
I have an old Windows XP computer that I use for
logging as a ham radio operator, and I have just
experienced a very strange problem with this computer.
The computer worked fine last night, but this
morning, when I turn on the computer, I cant
get to any of the programs on the machine.
If I turn on the computer, I can hear the hard
drive start to engage, but after waiting for a
few seconds, nothing happens, other than a
double beep which Im sure indicates something.
Jaws will not come up, so I cant read the
screen. And, I dont have any sighted assistance here to look at the screen.
Has anyone experienced this sort of thing
before, and if so, can you tell me what might of
happened? Most important, how do you get the
computer back into normal operation?
