Any help appreciated
 



Can you tap whichever key at startup that gets you into BIOS or Setup menus? Delete or Function 2 are favourites - then check that the system data and time is correct.

Thank you Saga Lout for your help, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I went out of town. I can get into the bios by f2. The time and date are not correct. I noticed that I can only get into the date and time screen. Everything else on the bios does not give me access. I changed the date and time, but when the computer restarted, it went back to some other date and time.
 


Sounds as though the BIOS is forgetting its settings and that could mean the CMOS battery has gone flat. It's difficult in a laptop - a PC allows easy acces to a battery. I have the remains of a dead DV6000 in my workshop - when I open up at around 09:00 BST I'll look at the motherboard to see if ther battery is accessible and replaceable and post back later.[/#000ff]
