PC Not Booting Into OS and Spits Out Error Message

[felix920506]

I Picked an old Thinkcentre M82 that was originally used in a company.

It was trying to boot to PXE so I cleared the CMOS

then this screen showed up when I tried to boot prompting me to press F1 to enter setup

Looks like it's a TPM issue, go into BIOS and see if there's an option to reset the TPM or failing that to disable it entirely.

Nevermind this ^^^^

 

Simply go into BIOS, load defaults, save & exit.

Try opening BIOS then pressing F10 to save & exit without loading defaults. Does that help?

Select BIOS, download the latest version and flash it. There's a readme on that site with instructions on how to do it.

if these problems began occuring after u removed the cmos battery then a setting in the board had to have been reset to a value thats causing the error. logically that makes sense but logic isn't foolproof unfortunately. can u "re" flash the bios by installing the same version it currently has if there's no newer version? idk  if removing the cmos can fuck the firmware......i wouldn't think so. but i'm kinda stumped here lol.

Did the computer function after the cpu change? If not it may be an incompatible cpu.

It POSTs and recognizes the new CPU and it even attempted to boot from PXE before I cleared the CMOS

It Won't even boot to the bios update CD

I pulled the CMOS battery out, let it sit for 10 minutes then installed the battery back, set the correct time and it worked!
