HI, I wasn't sure what section to post this in so feel free to move it.
I have a compaq presario 5000. When i try to boot it up I get this warning: 163 - Time and Date not set The system time is invaled. This may be a result of a loss in battery power. Set the correct time and date using your OS. If this mesage persists you may want to replace the onboard battery. I changed the time and now it constantly restarts itself. I can press delete and go to the OS but can't get to windows. |

QUESTIONS 101
1. BIOS battery could be dying. 2. Where did you "set" the time and date (BIOS or in windows)? 3. Could also be a corrupt MBR/Windows install.
