I do not know what relaly happned with my Dell Vostro 1000 laptop. It is a old model that comes loaded with 4GB RAM and AMD Athlon X2 processor. Each time when I turn it on it stuck on entering boot menu. And does not move aehad. I also tried to format the system but it is not taking the dvd at all. I am quiet annoyed with this problem. What can be the issue here.
Well you have to first check whether any key is not stuck on the keyboard. Entering boot menu appear when you press F2 from the keyboard. And if this key is stuck of if there is any problem then it will keep on entering that menu. And then try to reset the settings. Once done reboot. Disconnect any usb keyboard you had connected and test it.
I know the reason behind this. It is because of cmos battery. It can be also be due to the keyboard key but if that is not the actual problem then you have to do two things. First try updating the bios. If that does not help then you have to open up the laptop and change the cmos battery. That would easily help you in fixing the problem. Most of the time the issue is resolved by updating the bios.
