No NVRAM

[ileung]

Hi

When I turn my computer on I'm getting a message saying "No NVRAM". I have disconnected the floppy drive, disable it in the BIOS and have change the battery. But I'm still getting this error message. Can someone please help me??

Thanks

Forgot to say that when I'm using explorer the scroller automatically scrolls to the bottom of the page.

NVRAM should be your BIOS, if that's not found you've got something wrong with your motherboard. I don't think it's a dead CMOS battery but you could try changing it, dead CMOS batteries usually say bad checksum.

edit: try removing any hardware you don't need for the computer to boot then if it works, add them back one by one

i have tried removing the hardware and putting them back in but i still get that message.. now whenever i shut down my comp from the start menu it turns back on by itself. the only way for me to shut down my comp is to press the on button..
