Hi all, I know their are a couple of pc experts in here so thought I'd give it a shot!
On Thursday my machine became really slow, when I finally booted to windows I noticed the wallpaper had changed and the time was wrong, I tried to do a restore but the restore points only had dates from may! When I looked further all my files had disappeared since may time. So in essence my computer somehow how has gone back in time, can I ever recover those files now?
Secondly, I read that it may have been the CMOS battery, I removed my gfx card and took out the battery left it for 10 minutes and put it back. Upon booting I now get 1 long beep and 3 Hirt beeps.
I've took out the 4 sticks of ram and tested one by one, reset the CPU and graphics card and I'm stil having the same issue.
My keyboard an mouse load, my screen does not. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
