Problems with boot (CPU CMOS)

[DjKraid]

Hi!

I just put an old computer together and it woant boot. First it didn't send any signals to the display so i thought it was something wit the BIOS so i removed the battery from the motherboard to reset the BIOS...after thet i got it to start...almost...it say something about bad CMOS settings for the CPU or something...
Now every time I start the computer i have to reset the BIOS and then when the computer has been on tor about 10-15 sec it just jams :/

any ideas?

I think you should replace the CMOS battery. I think it's dead.

hmm...nope...didn't work....
how would the computer be if the motherboard wouldn's support the cpu?

 

[DjKraid]

the computer says

Warning! CPU has been changed.
Pleace re-enter CPU settings in the CMOS setup and remember to save before quit.

It's not clear to me. Did you install a different CPU into the motherboard than it originally had? If so, it seems you put one in that's not supported.

yep it's not the original...but i can't find any pages about the motherboard, it's some crappy ACER motherboard

:/

Do you know the model number of the original Acer PC?

 

[DjKraid]

It would help if you could locate the mobo info. It should be printed somewhere on the board.
