Hello
when ever my pc p3 starts an error of diskette drive A error(floppy drive 0 error) shows and sometimes the date and time on the pc changes to 01 jan 1990.
and one more error of password check sum.
fews months ago i could not update the avast, as no connection was available.
is it due to boot virus or some virus or else.
please help and i think my computer has gone slow.
thanks
Maybe it’s just the CMOS battery. You can buy a new battery and ask for a technician just to replace it.
For any virus, update avast and run a full scan.
i did put it on full scan and rookit scan but no virus.
thanks
Did you consider this?
i have heard that while replacing battery that something processor or motherboard gets cleaned

No. What does happen, is what you have already experienced. The time and date will reset, and defaults are loaded into the BIOS.
Replace the battery, setup your BIOS with the actual date / time (floppy error can probably be corrected as well) and you should be good to go for another 5-10 years until the battery dies again. Computer will probably fail or you’ll buy a replacement by then, but still.
it is decided that pc is going to die slowly.
my father would give me the permission to change it
thanks
