HI guys, I'm having problems with my laptop. Every time I start it goes straight into BIOS with the message exit without saving changes. I can't access any of the options, I have to press control alt del and then esc as it boots before I can access the bios menu.

The date and time have reset to the when the computer was made, I've replaced the CMOS battery but it comes up with the message The CMOS check sum is invalid (CMOS reset 502). I made changes to the date and time but when I come to exiting BIOS, if I select exit saving changes it goes straight but to bios and then it's a loop if I keep selecting exit saving changes. It will only go on to start windows if I select exit discarding changes, it then boots normally and I can then use the laptop without any problems.

 

It's annoying having to deal with bios everytime I start up my laptop. Can anyone help me out please, I've run out of ideas in terms of what to do. I'm including screenshots of the messages that have been coming up.

 

Thank in advance for all your help.Goes straight into biosAdjusting date and timeScreen after replacing CMOS batteryScreen after replacing CMOS battery
