I have a problem with my pc. When I'm restarting it or I press reset before it boots the message "Scanning BIOS image in hard disk" appears and then it restarts again and the same thing happens. To get it work I have to unplug it for more than 10 minutes and after that it start fine! What I must do to correct this and what is the problem?

This can be one of two problems. First and easiest is that you have a bad hard drive and it's about to go kaput. To replace the hard drive you need to determine if it's PATA (old style ribbon cable) or SATA (new style cord). Use Norton Ghost to transfer everything on to the new drive and voila!
Second and more likely is that it's a problem with the motherboard. They are a pain in the tuckas to replace.

This is mainly no longer a concern of the CMOS battery due to the fact the worst factor that would occur with a susceptible CMOS battery is that the BIOS looses it is settings. In ultra-modern PCs that is no concern both due to the fact of the wealthy automobile-detecting facets. Try to disconnect the HDD, possibly that it inflicting the disorders. If the display remains clean at all times, it could even be a concern of your portraits card.
