Man I was SO scared when that screen appeared out of nowhere, I normally clean up my PC every few months but this was the 1st time I disconnected the power cable. You saved me
Thank you so much. Your solution definitely helped with my problem! You are the only one on UA-cam with that info - I really appreciate it! 🙏🏻💪🏻 Great job!
So glad I found this video of yours TY. I was cleaning and saw that battery in the motherboard and figured I’d change it since it’s been over 4 years and I didn’t know what it was for. Learned something new today for my amateur self
Although this turned out not to be the problem I was experiencing, I appreciated your clear explanation. Thank you. Hope you don't mind my suggesting that it would be even clearer without the music.
I seem to get this message every time I boot up and I have to adjust the time and date or else it tells me that everything is out of sync. I'll try and change the battery though. I have to say this is insane if this is the issue! Happy also that it could be a quick fix. Thanks for posting.
I figured out my issue. I was using an extension cord for cable management to connect my pc and my desktop but when I plugged my pc back into the wall instead it started back up again 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I am on an Asus P8Z68-V LE and I still get this message after changing the CMOS battery. Have read lots of people getting the same on different forums.
great video second I heard you say your holding the power button down to drain capacitors I knew it was the watch battery never had this happen to me personally since i always upgrade but nice to know.
I left a very negative comment here the other day, for no good reason at all, and I’ve since deleted it because it just wasn’t right. I was angry at the problem and my inability to fix it or find a solution, and took it out on you because I’m an asshole and was looking to blame anything but myself. But that’s still no excuse at all to be a dick like I was, and I’m very sorry for everything I said. I sincerely hope you did not take any of it to heart. You didn’t deserve that at all, I doubt any of what I said was true, and I’m sure you know your stuff very well. Again, I’m very sorry for saying those stupid things and I wish you well. Good luck with your channel, your career, and your life in general, and please take care.
Got a brand new build, that dang battery on the MOBO caused the monitor to now have any signal, took it out put it back in , now I can see the bios on the monitor. But I'm stuck at the Splash Screen , do I need to change the battery completely? Appreciate your reply.
Hi, Thanks for this, for mine to work I had to remove the the Usb's before starting. Otherwise It booted Into the F1/ F2 Screen and pressing the F1/F2 button did nothing. I have now changed the Battery and working now.
my issue is almost similar but my pc keeps restarting instead of being stuck, I had the same issue 5 months ago but i keept doing the steps you showed pressing F1 everyday untill i was able to access windows without pressing F1 now i'm back at the same problem and this problem came back because i unplugged my headphones and plugged them back on. any advice would be appreciated and thank you if you read all of this paragraphe :)))
My PC has had this screen for about a year now I watched other video’s and they all recommend to get a new CMOS, but my god i consider my self pretty tech savvy then to Come to find out all I needed to do was cut the power and push Power Button, safe to say I feel like a damn idiot. Anyways major thanks for this.
In the bios go to "Advanced mode" (f7), then in the boot tab, and deactivate the option "allow the use of F1 in case of error". So it starts you alone without the need to give that combination of keys. This error happens due to a problem with the disk.
This works if you only want to stop seeing the problem, but it won't get rid of the problem as the motherboard still cannot replicate its last settings.
Thanks alot best video for fixing pc problems my problem was the same like the video it was easy to understand with easy instructions and clean video ❤❤❤❤❤
En la bios ve a "Advanced mode" (f7), luego en la pestaña de boot, y desactivas la opción de "permitir el uso de F1 en caso de error". Así te inicia solo sin necesidad de dar esa combinación de teclas. Este error sucede debido a un problema con el disco.

My computer had American Megatrends was showing up for me, but I think it was a different error code. I had a usb over surging. Turned out that my micro USB was sticking more than half way out.
Please help. My pc hangs at splash screen. On pressing DEL it shows American megatrend page with message Press Esc for BBS menu Initializing USB controllers....Done, pressing Esc does nothing it hangs there only. It does not detect HDD, cd drive, only 1 out of 6 usb working. Resetting Cmos didn't worked, Cmos battery is new. Pc starts two times, first for 2 seconds then off then switches on. My pc specification (pls don't laugh) G41M mother board Intel core 2 duo 1×2 GB ddr3 ram 1333 Mhz Seagate 250 gb hard drive.
you are great bro. How can I be so stupid not to figure that out. This error always came on my old pc when I do not operate it for couple of days. but it never showed when I run I daily. The problem was the battery. lol
@@steinerikgarciamoe5945 hey ! It ended up being a RAM issue I disconnected my sticks and reinstalled and also installed a new version of windows. Works now ! Hope this helps
I've to do a cmos reset just to get to the F1 screen......get nothing to the monitor not even pressing Del/F2, change nothing in the bios and it starts up
My pc used to come up with the splash screen saying American megatrends but now it comes up with this other splash screen with the motherboard manufacturer which I’ve never seen before also don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing but it will still boot to windows. It’s a real head scratcher to me. The only thing I can think of is either replacing the cmos battery? 🤷♂️
My Computer is doing this right now. but it wont boot even if I save the BIOS settings it still goes to the American Megatrends screen, I am going change my Battery out tomorrow, but I am thinking it might be more than that.
Is it safe to keep continuing using the PC like normal till you get a new battery. I’ve been maintaining my normal gaming while wait for the battery and I’m just hoping it won’t cause damage
I oressed F2 and IT does this thing, where IT says: "reboot and select proper voit device or insert boot media in selected voit device and press a key" And it does it EVERY TIME i try to tuen The pc off, and turn IT on again. And it won't let me go to The start screwn where im able to press f1
Soo 6 months ago, I fixed my computer just the way you did. Now I have the same problem. I figured it’s ok I’ll do what I did last time. But it’s not working this time. Now I’m stuck.

GRACIAS GROSOOOOO, ya me estaba volviendo re loco... Muchas gracias, en serio! Abrazo! 🙌 THANK YOUUUUU GROSOOOOO, I was already turnig crazy... Thank you so much, really! hug! 🙌
This kind of problem occured to me just now, tried changing the CMOS and temporarily solved the problem. but the next time i opened my desktop, the problem occured again. Hope you help me. it is pretty annoying seeing this type of error. Thank You!
Changed out my battery. Only posts after I do a cmos reset. Even after the battery swap. :/ and it goes straight to this screen I do the same thing. But then when it’s shut down and time to start back up. No post 😩 been trouble shooting barebones for days now and Im really hoping it’s not my motherboard going bad. It’s under 2 yrs old
Dude, please help me, an error popped up recently,, copyright (c) 2012 american megatrends inc bios date 06/08/2023 Ver: F16 Press to enter setup" I do not know what to do(((
I have a similar error but it says "please enter setup to recovery bios, when raid recovery was built" Pc has bever been i raid mode what so ever. But ive never changed rhe cmos battery snd ive had this oc for well over 6 years. Sound like i may need to change cmos battery
This is most unfortunate for me. Because of my living situation, I live in an RV with an inverter-generator that I have to power down every night before bed. So every night before I power down, I turn off my desktop computer and switch off the PSU then hit the power button to basically drain the motherboard. Before coming here, I had a strong feeling that it was my CMOS because of the symptoms, but failed to realize what I was doing every night to my desktop. My question is; Should I now just turn off my desktop as normal and leave it that way? Regardless, I am unable to keep power to my desktop at all times.
My PC was left on to download a game, later I checked on it and the PC just stuck on American Megatrends. I pressed all the F keys but can't enter BIOS. I hard restarted still nothing change. Please help me.
With my PC I turn it on and goes to American page thing to reset Bois but nothing works keyboard doesn't register idk if I have hubs or how to get them but I doesn't work could U please tell me how to do it
On my computer if I don't boot it up after maybe 6 hours I will boot it up, and it will take me to the error message saying "WARNING: Please back up your data and replace your hard disk drive" But I have a SSD that cant be possible. Should I be worried?
Ok so i have same issue took everything out of the ports etc popped in anjew battery and still get the same megatrend screen. Its detecting the keyboard and mouse. Am i going wrong. At some point here? Thanks in advance.
so, Ive changed the battery but I still get put into the splash screen, then it tells me I need to set my bios setting to RAID mode, and when I hit f1 then save and exit it doesnt boot into windows, is there any reason wiy it does that?
Mine says GPT header corruption after i was downloading atlas os (Atlas os is a software that gives you a desktop with barely anything on it to save you frames for games) and now my pc won’t load and just says gpt header corruption. PLEASE HELP ME
i need help please. my computer was running normal and then when i turned it on it showed me biostar boot menu or something. i don't even know what it is. i refreshed my pc so many times it finally turned on and let me use my pc. then it happened again so i changed hdd with ssd and it was working for a while but then it showed me the same menu and wouldn't let me go to windows. i click save changes and reset and it resets into the same menu, i changed the battery and it's still not working. i also tried putting my ssd in a laptop and it still showed the same thing on the laptop. on a different device. i can't use my pc what am i supposed to do? what is causing it?

If you changed the battery and this persists, its most likely the SSD maybe a cheap Lexar is famous for this.

Thanks I think this worked I appreciate it 🙏
Do I have the only problem where it doesnt show "Press F1 to run SETUP"?
It only shows Press F1 to resume and nothing happens
After watching your video is to look for that 'CR2032' battery to see if that does it...🤞 I'll get back.
