Hi names Rui,

For your problem the computer may display a prompt to press F1/F2 or any other key to enter setup each time the computer boots as a reminder on how to enter CMOS. However, if the computer asks to press F1/F2 (or another key) to enter setup and does not continue, this may be caused by any of the below reasons.

1. New hardware has been recently installed.
2. Error or confliction with settings in CMOS.
3. CMOS battery is bad or failing.

Solution:

New hardware has been recently installed

If new hardware has been recently installed into the computer, it is likely that you are receiving the prompt "Press F1 or F2 to enter setup" because CMOS needs to verify that the new detected hardware is properly being setup in CMOS. Enter CMOS setup and save the settings and exit. If you continue to get errors continue to the next step.

Error or confliction with settings in CMOS

If no new hardware has been added or you continue to get this prompt verify no error or conflictions exist in CMOS. Press the key to enter setup and verify that all settings are correct.

If your time and date are not set correctly, your battery is more than likely bad. Try setting the correct time and date, save the settings and then reboot. If after turning off the computer the time and date get reset again replace the battery.

If the time and date are correct and everything else appears to be correct try resetting the CMOS values to the defaults.

CMOS battery is bad or failing

If you continue to receive the prompt to enter setup each time the computer boots up and you have attempted to follow the above suggestions, your CMOS battery is bad. We recommended that the CMOS battery be replaced.

hope this will help you.

It sounds to me like your BIOS battery is dead. All you need to do is get a new one. Any of these in the link will probably work, but to be sure you should check what you currently have. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=bios+battery&_sacat=See-All-Categories

It looks like your CMOS battery is running out. Try to replace the new one, enter the CMOS setup and save.

Your CMOS battery may be dead. That is the watch style battery on your motherboard. Choose f2. If the problem persists, change the battery

Hi everyone I have a problem with the mobo asrock p4vt8 + when the boot gives me this screen: scan devices please wait ... press <tab> key into user window! serial_ch0 master: no device serial_ch1 master: no device cmos settings wrong press f2 to run setup press f1 to load default values and continue but when I press f1 or f2 the computer freezes, I want to make it recognize the hd ide but I don't know how to do it ! thanks in advance

the coin cell battery is dead
or the hdd is dead
there are 2 cures.
1: new battery and reset bios.
2: test the hDD if bad , it must be replaced and new OS installed.

press delete during boot up process enter BIOS then f1 for general help then run chkdsk/r/f which will automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive
hope this helps good luck

Is there another message besides the F1 or F2 prompt?

Does it happen to mention CMOS settings at all? Usually this will happen if your CMOS battery has died, and will be fixed upon replacement. It is normally a CR2032 lithium battery, easily obtained at radio shack, walmart, etc. and super easy to replace.

You need to press F1 and go into the BIOS to setup and detect everything. You will need to set the date, verify it detects your hard drive and memory, and enable/disable items as you need for your system.

Once it looks good, do a Save and Exit.

Ente in BIOS setup and choose the option load default values.
to enter in Bios press DEL , F1 or F2 Depends on the Bios
the POST screen will show u the key for entering in bios .
other method is u open the case of ur PC cabinet and put the Cmos jumper in Clear mode for few seconds aand put again in its origional state.
