Thank you so much...

Thank you so much...

your welcome

i replace with a new battery bt also cmos problem arise when i start pc.

You might need to reset the cmos and then re-configure it.

If you tried installating a new CMOS battery and this issue still persits, try updating your BIOS. You can search your BIOS in google and download the update file and flash it.
