Boy am I stupid...So I thought I had screwed up one of my computer BIG TIME, when I could not get passed the BIOS screen on bootup. I nearly pulled my hair out trying to figure it out. Then I opened it up and found this little button and has a label around it named "CMOS". So i pressed it like a billion times and held it for 10 seconds, and now it works! I am the biggest idiot in the world. Has anyone ever used this before?
It now says that the system clock is innaccurate, and needs to be reset. How do I do this???
BTW, the Compaq EVO Dxxx SFF series has the BEST/easiest cases ever.

Yes, I've reset the CMOS before. Usually it's just a jumper on the motherboard you have to short out for ten seconds. It really helps when dealing with bad bootups and BIOS :yes:

Nope, you don't have to do that. In the BIOS somewhere is the date and time. Just make sure its accurate.
