Computer Startup

[Alan88]

Mums computer wont startup itself without having to press f1 and into advanced mode then esc out of it without actually doing anything. Also it won't stay at the right date and time which is very annoying even when it's set at 'set time automatically'

Thanks

My guess, and it is a guess, would be replacing the battery on the motherboard might solve your problem. If be battery is dead the real time clock will be reset each time you boot up

It is usually a CR2032 cell battery

As above your CMOS battery is on its way out.

Make sure you replace it with exactly the same kind!!!

I would try to avoid booting the computer until the battery is changed- in the past a lot of operating systems did not like going back in time.

You are fortunate that you have a decent Asus MOBO and it should sort itself out once the battery is changed.
