I have been trying since 1 pm today, that's 6 hours and 40 minutes. i can't get it into boot mode.
#1. i changed BIOS battery 2032
#2. tried resetting options in bios,especiallyboot device , yet everytime i go back to Delete/F12 it offers choices all over again , won' just boot
#3. i upgraded cpu from a dual core to quad core. it's a AMD ANTHLON 11 X 4 615e 2.5GHZ also back about 5 years ago
#4. ***THERE'S a CMOS Jumper but just that. it hasn't been on there BUT maybe it was when i re-did pc yrs ago but i may have removed jumper to use elsewhere over the years..[would it run fine without one on once OS IS in ?
#5.
its been so long and so many health changes/distractions for family i have No Recollection. i remember i didn't need help like this before.
it's am2+ slot..8gb RAM..i know it's a big turd but it's all i have BUT after this i will be looking for a regular mobo + case . i take it with me to my son's. mostly just to watch videos of mine. a little internet as i need it. can't but new parts til march/april
#6. should i be looking for boot keys for quad core cpu ? AFAIK we look for boot keys based on OS BUt it used to be by brand of pc
thank you for ANY help
