A very bad awakening

[scottishlass]

This morning when I tried to get my PC started, it immediately went into the BIOS mode. NOT GOOD!!!!

So I opened it up, checked my HDD and couldn't find anything wrong. So I got the HDD out, put oanother one in, crossed my fingers .... and the same did happen. What was wrong? My BIOS? My settings? For about three hours I tried and tried and experimented until I thought, well look t the BIOS settings and lo and behold my keyboard was not reacting and some keys were dented. SOMEONE must have jumped u on my desk during the night and stuck some of my keys. Well, the keyboard is toast, so tomorrow I will get this little beauty in the mail:
Black Microsoft ergonomic curve
My interrim keyboard is a straight one and this short entry already makes my hands ache. *sob*

Genius at work again here - what's the BIOS mode?

So it was the keyboard for you too, eh? Thank the heavens for Amazon. So who was the culprit then, out of the two? ;) Or is Chandi sleeping somewhere else?

BIOS - Basic Input Output System - is nothing else than your first booting system. You can see flashes of it when your PC starts (the black screen with white font and the command of PRESS F4 or F8 before Windows starts). Most operating systems need a disk to execute (windows needs the HDD, Knopix/Linux needs a CD) and when you don't have an OS installed, BIOS first of all tells the computer what is in the computer (HDD, CD/DVD ROM drive etc.) and then gives you a chance to install everything.

It was probably Chandini, no one else dares to get up there.

The cheeky little monkey!!! >:/

Oh, THAT screen. That shows up on mine when I unplug it completely for a while, then I have to press F1 so that it'll go on booting. I asked Christian what the hell that means and he says it has something to do with the "Akku" time he put on it (???). I think it would have to be set up anew but I don't know how to do that.

Wow! This is a horor story with happy end! :D

oh, all these problems with comps *sucks*
but I don't have any ideas what power should be used to breake the keyboard if PC turns off!

BIOS? I have NO idea what most of that means, but I hope you can stop whoever it was from stomping on your keyboard! :-)
