A friend has a computer that neither of us know too much about. It got stuck on the boot screen where you can enter the bios or setup and wouldn't move you couldn't even enter the bios. Not really knowing what to do I took out the bios battery and put it back in the computer booted up normally however if the computer is reset or turned off and back on I get a blank screen when the computer starts. The only way to get it to start again is to pull the bios battery again and every time after. At one point my friend says he heard the motherboard say failed due to overclocking (or something like that). The best I can figure is that some of the setting in the bios are now off because of pulling the battery and need be reset. The problem is I know very little about computer hardware and messing with the bios so I'm hoping someone here can help me out.
