WHEN I START MY COMPUTER I SHOW BAD CMOS SETTINGS AND I CORRECT THEM
AND AND SAVE BIOS CONFIGURATIONS AND START THE COMPUTER .THE COMPUTER
STARTS CORRECTLY .BUT AFTER FEW HOURS WHEN I AGAIN POWER ON THE PC IT
AGAIN SHOWS BAD CMOS SETTINGS. WHY?
I worked on a motherboard the other day and I had to download the .pdf of
the manual, as my mate had lost his, and it turned out, that the motherboard
I was working on, stores the information in two places, one of them being
the "EEPROM" (which was a option on the BIOS Screen) in the manual it
advised me, that is the power cord was removed from the machine (if I was
moving the pc to another room) there would be settings on the machine I'd
have to reset, like the system date and time, when I booted it back up, and
put the other settings from the "EEPROM", so technically the bios was
forgetting all the settings if I was to remove power...
when you've finished with your machine, and you power down, do you also
switch off at the mains?
