Product: Example: Pavillion a1730n
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Every time I try to start up my computer, I get the black screen with some boot info and then:
Date and Time not set
IN blue is: F1 - Boot
When I hit F1, it boots fine.
How do I stop this from occurring?

Hi,
Can't find your PC using "A1730n". Is the date and time correct immediately after Windows runs?
Two additional questions:
1. How old is your PC?
2. Have you ever replaced the CR2032 motherboard battery?
Regards
