About three weeks ago my elderly computer failed to boot and displayed this message:-
Warning! CPU has been changed or CPU ratio changed fail. Please re-enter CPU settings in the CMOS set up and remember to save before quit.
F1 to continue or Del to enter setup.
I entered setup, but I could not find any clue what to do next so I now boot by using F1. This seems to work, but now I have to reset the clock every time as it goes back to either Dec 31 2004 or Jan 1 2005.
My knowledge of computer technology is limited so I would be grateful for any helpful suggestions.
