Error Message on Boot Up

[gav]

Hey Guys

Hopefully someone can advise me.

I have a PC that gives the following error message

__________________________________________________ _____________

Invalid configuration information - please run SETUP program

Performing automatic IDE configuration... (there is a time delay of ca. 3-5 minutes before the next bit)

Primary master: IDE disk drive
Secondary master: CD-ROM reader
Time-of-day not set - please run SETUP program
Alert! System battery voltage is low
Strike F1 to continue, strike F2 to run SETUP program

__________________________________________________ _______________

Does this mean the battery on the MBoard is running low and should be replaced??

Any advice welcome

Cheers

Sorry

What I forgot to say was that what ever this user does to the time/date setting, it always seems to loose the time.

Sounds like classic symptoms of a failing battery. Means that the BIOS will lose all its settings.
Should be cheap and fairly easy to replace.
