Normally at start fan is very loud for about 3 seconds then It seems to switch something and goes quieter and eveything comes on. Now when fanstats you can here a small ticking sound ..like something trying to do something..if you know what I mean.It will not turn monitor on either.
Is it possible that the cmos battery has died ?

MOtherboard is asus K8S-MX, everytime i boot it says CMOS battery low, date and time not set. I have changed many batteries. What I am now trying is to get date and time off a server upon startup. The problem is windows xp won't synchronise with time servers if date does not match! For security reasons, windows can not synchronize with the server because your date does not match. Please fix the date and try again.

My clock problem is that it seems to run at a snails pace. It will lose as much as 6 or 7 hours overnight. I've replaced the cmos battery a couple of times, with no success at all.

I was unable to turn my Toshiba laptop on this morning. It was working fine last night when I logged off. The power and battery lights are on and I've checked all connections but still no luck.

It all started about a week ago when i upgraded at home from cable modem + router to a Cisco combo provided by the ISP - Cisco EPC2425. We have 5 PC's running locally - 2 physical and 3 wireless, and out of them my PC is the one with the problem, the rest are just fine - i'm typing this from one of the laptops.I run XP Pro SP2 Version 2002. The PC is a E6300 with 2x2GB of DDR2 800 ram, motherboard is Gigabyte EP31-DS3L, and video is a Leadtek 8600GT.I use the same software for close to 2yrs now - only difference is the AV which has been Kaspersky 2010 for 3months.I use the XP firewall.As browsers i use the latest Firefox with NoScript and the latest Opera.The problem was that soon after we put in the new combo my browsers died. Pidgin has issues, Opera actually manages to check a page.I have tried repairing the connection, uninstalling the connection, uninstalling the LAN, disabling noscript, changing my DNS - it is taken automatically from the router and the router has DHCP and i'm not really sure that i managed to change it either, and even reinstalling the OS. Reinstalling the OS seemed to fix the problem, i did not have it for almost 5 days, but all of the sudden, it's back, and it wasn't simply in full effect, it was gradual. It started as pages taking longer to load, having to refresh constantly to get them to work and after a restart, they stopped working altogether, yet Opera is still working - not sure for how long though.MMO's work, WoW and EVE have no issues on the affected PC.I'll try to be a bit more clear. Router was installed, my browsers died, everything that would require a DNS died, and so did pidgin - i use google and MSN on it. I reinstalled the OS, and it worked fine for 5 days, than it started again. Current status is MSN not functioning, Firefox not functioning, Google talk functioning 50% of times, and Opera still functioning - not sure for how long.PS: No, i did not have norton installed.

my pc today decided to go black screen right after the Win XP loading screen the one with the blue dots crossing the screen. right when Windows User select screen WOULD load the screen goes black, still on because the monitor never sleeps but black. Safemode and last known config work either, safe mode fails at the loading of .sys files. I have reset the CMOS, tried a new gfx card, and diff things no luck sill.

I downloaded some windows updates but not all of them installed. When I go to Turn Off Computer, the "Turn Off" button has changed, indicating that when I hit it, it will install the updates. There's also a field I can click which will Turn Off without installing the updates. When I click the Turn Off buttion, it attempts to install two updates. It doesn't appear to be successful. Every time I Turn Off Computer it apparently tries to install the same two updates. I can reboot and do this over and over and they don't "take".There's nothing in Event Viewer to indicate what's going on. I couldn't find any installation logs though I'm not sure where to look.

I?m trying to run a repair on my friends Compaq Presario 1245 but I have a strange problem. Every time I boot into setup, it will load the setup files and then just try to start windows up. The setup program will boot from the CD, load the drivers and whatnot, but instead of going into the actual setup process (where you can install a clean copy, repair etc), it just tries to boot to Windows automatically (Which doesn?t work).I've tried it even with a Windows 2003 CD and the same thing happens. I have went and reset the bios to their factory settings just in case for a session but that doesn't seem to be the problem (the CMOS battery is dead anyways). I was told the CMOS battery being dead might be the problem but its never really been and issue for me before when Ive worked on laptops (with dead CMOS batteries)

having trouble with the mobo CMOS settings and ended up rmaing the mobo and the memory. Well i got the new mobo and memory is it loads. When it goes to load XP it gets NTLDR not found or something to that degree and says press ctrl+alt+del to restart. My hd has a partial install of xp and i havent been able do the full install. Was wondering how to do the full install now. I tried popping the xp cd in and it doesnt read it, it just gives me the NTLDR message and wont do anything.

I was on my laptop and its battery went down so it went in to hibernation. When I plugged it in it still wasn't coming on so I press the off button until it went off. Now it keeps saying "we appologized for the inconvienince but windows did not start successfully." I pressed "start windows normally" and it just keeps doing the same thing over and over again!

Okay so I usually leave my computer on all the time. I went to bed and when I got up it was off and couldn't get it to turn on. So I assumed it might be the power supply so I went and bought a new one from stamples. He turned on for maybe 5 seconds then turned off. so I took it back thinking maybe I didn't have enough watts. The higher watts didn't doanything. I am lost without my computer can anyone help? I have Win XP..Could it be the fan? Even though the fan worked when i plugged in first PS...Second didnt do anything. Could it be something to do with motherboard?

The calendar/clock keeps randomly resetting itself to 00:00, 1st January 2002.
It's extremely annoying - is the battery dying? Or is there another problem?

I am trying to figure out if the battery is bad in a computer. Turned it off one night and all was well, turn it on the next day and the desktop is differnt one, home page went from google to msn, and the e-mail had to be redone from the start. (out look express) No I am finding more and more things like, the windows tour gude that normally comes up when windows is first put on starts coming up, the files and settings transfer wizard shows up in the start menu even tho it was not used. Spybot was already on the computer but went to start it and had to go through it like you were just putting it on the computer. All these things can it mean something?? I updated and ran spybot and it caught one thing called minibug, fixed it, ran a full adware 2007 scan it caught nothing. have antiviurs up to date, this computer is clean as far as I can tell,
