Hi,

As the header says, something really weird happened to my PC on bootup. The BIOS screen came up asking me if I wanted to save the changes. I said no, but I find it weird it should suddenly do this. This PC by the way is my internet PC and I have owned it for about 3 years and not once has it ever done this. I can assure you I didn't accidentally initiate any BIOS changes. Can someone please explain?

Thanks
hubird

Hi,

I doubt it is a virus Hubird. First of all I have a firewall in my router, also I use Zone Alarm Proand my virus scanner is up to date. Plus I haven't executed any suspicious files.

Someone from another forum suggested that my battery on my motherboard could be going flat. But I dunno. My Old Dell PC is twice the age and I have never ever changed the battery on that.

The battery on the motherboard goes out sometimes too. Might replace it if you see this happen again...
