OS wont boot, stuck in CMOS Setup Utility

[Malc]

Hi all, help please.

I moved my PC from one room to another, and when I switch on now it goes straight to the CMOS Set Up utility, and I cant get past it.

Its kept its memory (the time and date are ok) but when I escape from it it just jumps straight back into CMOS and my OS doesnt kick in.

The machine is a 1.8ghz Pentium 4, 480MB RAM, 58GB hard drive, fairly new, and I'm trying to boot-up XP Home.

Any clues anyone please.

Malc:

Try selecting the option to change all settings to the defaults in the CMOS, then reboot.

Regards,
