when i start my computer, it keeps saying:
Warning! CPU has been changed or CPU Ration Changed fail.
Please re-enter CPU settings in the CMOS setup and remember to save before quit.
Please tell me what to do thank you.

First thing you need to do is reset your BIOS settings.
Reboot you pc......on boot up it will say something like Press F1 to enter setup.
When in BIOS look for something like, press F6 to Reset defaults.
Do this, Save and Exit.
Depending on your pc The F commands may be different ie it may not be F1 it might be F2.
There are a few other things to try, but do this first.....takes two minutes.
Good luck

It sounds, sir, like your CMOS (or BIOS) settings have changed.
As others have already stated, when you switch on your computer, look for a message (it may only appear for a fraction of a second) telling you which key to press to enter CMOS (or BIOS) setup.
In there you will need to look for the FSB (front side bus) and multiplier settings. A combination of these will tell your computer at which speed to run the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to get it to run correctly. If either have these have been changed some processors cannot operate correctly, hence the sort of message that you're receiving. Of course, there could be other reasons, too, but that's for another time.
Obviously, once you have set the correct timings, you must save them, otherwise your computer will continue to give the same message after each time you boot (start) it.

Sounds like your BIOS settings have either reset or you changed CPUs. After you power on your computer hit delete (most likely depending on your motherboard it may be another key, look around the screen for something that says "to enter setup hit" and hit that key) Once in setup, if you know what type of CPU you have, enter the correct settings. If you don't know what type of CPU you have try looking for something that says "autodetect" your CPU. If all else fails try looking for something that says "restore CMOS/BIOS defaults" and reboot. If that still doesn't work, lug it down to your local computer store and have them do it for you.

Sounds like your CMOS battery needs changed, change this and then fill her up with the best unleaded availabe in your area (anything above octane 95 is recommended).
Then...
enter your CPU settings, to do this, remove the CPU fan then remove the CPU (be care ful not to get it wet) once the CPU is removed, carefully place it on a clean dust free surface upside down bend every second pin inwards then replace.

Your bios settings are incorrect.
Please check you have the correct fsb, memory and multiplier settings.
Older motherboards may need jumpers altering on the board its self.
Without further information and details of your setup it is impossible for me to help you further. You will need to consult the motherboard manual and understand which are the correct settings for your cpu.
Please do not alter any of the settings related to multiplier and fsb unless you are fully sure of what you are doing as you can easily break the pc beyond repair.

hi, youve had some good answers.
i would sugest taking it to a store, they should have it up and running in 10 mins, if you try this yourself, you might need to buy a new one...
do not mess with the bios , you may kill your chip - dont know what u have, but think £80 min
do not try and get your fan off to look at the chip.. its not that easy, new mobo £50 - double it for fitting.....
if you know what speed your processor was, just tell the guys at the shop[, ask them to replace your bios battery if its possible..

when you first boot your computer you need to enter into your bios (usually by hitting f1 or del or whatever your computer prompts you to hit to enter the setup), and change or fix the cmos settings.
