Can anyone help as this is driving me mad!
When i switch on my pc the boot up stops at the Phoenix bios screen and i have to press the F1 key to continue. Please help thanks

Hi Jerry. That indicated two scenarios. A hardware failure and this will be indicated on the same screen or a low level cmos battery as seen here:

Thanks a lot MOBO i'll check the battery, its a nuisance though as the pc isn't even a year old yet. Many thanks Gerry
