If 3 volt battery is bad
This is your CMOS battery and when it runs down your BOIS settings will default back to factory settings and the date will be back to the date the pc was assembled. The battery is located under the keyboard on most Dell laptops and there is a strip of plastic that can be lifted at the back of the keyboard to allow access to the keyboard screws. This is a small round battery with a black and red wire lead with a small white plasitc plug. There are many dealers on Ebay that sell this battery and I buy mine from USAexpress as I fix and repair laptops for friends and family. Good luck, easy fix. Dennis
Bios blocked
Hi peter,
Some motherboards get back to default BIOS settings just by removing and replacing the CMOS battery. But in most of the motherboards, you need to reset it using jumper pins (those 3 pins are labelled in most of the MBs).
For resetting, there are 3 pins provided on the motherboard with 2 pins always coupled (or shorted) using a small cap. Say the cap is shorting pins 2 and 3. You have to now remove the cap and put it on to short pins 1 and 2 for about 10-15 seconds. Then revert back the cap to pins 2 and 3.
Make sure the CMOS battery is not removed during this process.
Power on the system, BIOS should now be resetted back to its default settings.Hope this solves your problem and rate my solution if it helps you.Have a good day.

One problem could be that your laptop is struggling with a small memory (RAM). The standard starts with 512MB which is too small. I suggest a 1GB upgrade (about 35 dollars, 25 GBP) ADDING to the 412MB already there, giving RAM of 1.5GB
Try and find out what the present RAM is and get back to me
[Start>Control Panel>System at the bottom of the list RAM]
Blue screen disable bios memory options
- Disconnect incompatible hardware
- Check and repair disk errors
- Perform System Clean-Up
- Fix Windows hidden errors with Reginout.
- Scan for Malicious Content

Good Luck :-)
