Man I was SO scared when that screen appeared out of nowhere, I normally clean up my PC every few months but this was the 1st time I disconnected the power cable. You saved me
Thank you so much. Your solution definitely helped with my problem! You are the only one on RUclips with that info - I really appreciate it! 🙏🏻💪🏻 Great job!
So glad I found this video of yours TY. I was cleaning and saw that battery in the motherboard and figured I’d change it since it’s been over 4 years and I didn’t know what it was for. Learned something new today for my amateur self
Although this turned out not to be the problem I was experiencing, I appreciated your clear explanation. Thank you. Hope you don't mind my suggesting that it would be even clearer without the music.
I seem to get this message every time I boot up and I have to adjust the time and date or else it tells me that everything is out of sync. I'll try and change the battery though. I have to say this is insane if this is the issue! Happy also that it could be a quick fix. Thanks for posting.
I am on an Asus P8Z68-V LE and I still get this message after changing the CMOS battery. Have read lots of people getting the same on different forums.
I figured out my issue. I was using an extension cord for cable management to connect my pc and my desktop but when I plugged my pc back into the wall instead it started back up again 🙌🏽🙌🏽
In the bios go to "Advanced mode" (f7), then in the boot tab, and deactivate the option "allow the use of F1 in case of error". So it starts you alone without the need to give that combination of keys. This error happens due to a problem with the disk.
This works if you only want to stop seeing the problem, but it won't get rid of the problem as the motherboard still cannot replicate its last settings.
Got a brand new build, that dang battery on the MOBO caused the monitor to now have any signal, took it out put it back in , now I can see the bios on the monitor. But I'm stuck at the Splash Screen , do I need to change the battery completely? Appreciate your reply.
great video second I heard you say your holding the power button down to drain capacitors I knew it was the watch battery never had this happen to me personally since i always upgrade but nice to know.
En la bios ve a "Advanced mode" (f7), luego en la pestaña de boot, y desactivas la opción de "permitir el uso de F1 en caso de error". Así te inicia solo sin necesidad de dar esa combinación de teclas. Este error sucede debido a un problema con el disco.

my issue is almost similar but my pc keeps restarting instead of being stuck, I had the same issue 5 months ago but i keept doing the steps you showed pressing F1 everyday untill i was able to access windows without pressing F1 now i'm back at the same problem and this problem came back because i unplugged my headphones and plugged them back on. any advice would be appreciated and thank you if you read all of this paragraphe :)))
My PC has had this screen for about a year now I watched other video’s and they all recommend to get a new CMOS, but my god i consider my self pretty tech savvy then to Come to find out all I needed to do was cut the power and push Power Button, safe to say I feel like a damn idiot. Anyways major thanks for this.
Thanks alot best video for fixing pc problems my problem was the same like the video it was easy to understand with easy instructions and clean video ❤❤❤❤❤
Is it safe to keep continuing using the PC like normal till you get a new battery. I’ve been maintaining my normal gaming while wait for the battery and I’m just hoping it won’t cause damage
Hi, Thanks for this, for mine to work I had to remove the the Usb's before starting. Otherwise It booted Into the F1/ F2 Screen and pressing the F1/F2 button did nothing. I have now changed the Battery and working now.
My computer had American Megatrends was showing up for me, but I think it was a different error code. I had a usb over surging. Turned out that my micro USB was sticking more than half way out.
@@steinerikgarciamoe5945 hey ! It ended up being a RAM issue I disconnected my sticks and reinstalled and also installed a new version of windows. Works now ! Hope this helps
you are great bro. How can I be so stupid not to figure that out. This error always came on my old pc when I do not operate it for couple of days. but it never showed when I run I daily. The problem was the battery. lol
With my PC I turn it on and goes to American page thing to reset Bois but nothing works keyboard doesn't register idk if I have hubs or how to get them but I doesn't work could U please tell me how to do it
This is most unfortunate for me. Because of my living situation, I live in an RV with an inverter-generator that I have to power down every night before bed. So every night before I power down, I turn off my desktop computer and switch off the PSU then hit the power button to basically drain the motherboard. Before coming here, I had a strong feeling that it was my CMOS because of the symptoms, but failed to realize what I was doing every night to my desktop. My question is; Should I now just turn off my desktop as normal and leave it that way? Regardless, I am unable to keep power to my desktop at all times.
Soo 6 months ago, I fixed my computer just the way you did. Now I have the same problem. I figured it’s ok I’ll do what I did last time. But it’s not working this time. Now I’m stuck.
This kind of problem occured to me just now, tried changing the CMOS and temporarily solved the problem. but the next time i opened my desktop, the problem occured again. Hope you help me. it is pretty annoying seeing this type of error. Thank You!

My pc used to come up with the splash screen saying American megatrends but now it comes up with this other splash screen with the motherboard manufacturer which I’ve never seen before also don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing but it will still boot to windows. It’s a real head scratcher to me. The only thing I can think of is either replacing the cmos battery? 🤷♂️
Changed out my battery. Only posts after I do a cmos reset. Even after the battery swap. :/ and it goes straight to this screen I do the same thing. But then when it’s shut down and time to start back up. No post 😩 been trouble shooting barebones for days now and Im really hoping it’s not my motherboard going bad. It’s under 2 yrs old
I left a very negative comment here the other day, for no good reason at all, and I’ve since deleted it because it just wasn’t right. I was angry at the problem and my inability to fix it or find a solution, and took it out on you because I’m an asshole and was looking to blame anything but myself. But that’s still no excuse at all to be a dick like I was, and I’m very sorry for everything I said. I sincerely hope you did not take any of it to heart. You didn’t deserve that at all, I doubt any of what I said was true, and I’m sure you know your stuff very well. Again, I’m very sorry for saying those stupid things and I wish you well. Good luck with your channel, your career, and your life in general, and please take care.
My Computer is doing this right now. but it wont boot even if I save the BIOS settings it still goes to the American Megatrends screen, I am going change my Battery out tomorrow, but I am thinking it might be more than that.
Dude, please help me, an error popped up recently,, copyright (c) 2012 american megatrends inc bios date 06/08/2023 Ver: F16 Press to enter setup" I do not know what to do(((
I have the same problem, but replacing the battery didn't fix it, the bios clock is not keeping the time even after resetting it a few times with a new battery and then replacing the new battery with another new battery still no fix.
@@gonzalez6472 Thanks for your reply, after replacing the battery with another new battery I found a video on this problem which is to go to Boot Menu and disable the F1 error message there is the option to enable or disable it, so far it all works. I haven't checked if bios clock is still working as I don't what to go there as long as it keeps booting up to Windows.
I've to do a cmos reset just to get to the F1 screen......get nothing to the monitor not even pressing Del/F2, change nothing in the bios and it starts up
I oressed F2 and IT does this thing, where IT says: "reboot and select proper voit device or insert boot media in selected voit device and press a key" And it does it EVERY TIME i try to tuen The pc off, and turn IT on again. And it won't let me go to The start screwn where im able to press f1
but the thing is i have just built my pc and when i switched it on the America megatrends came up and you r saying to press f1 but when i do that nothing happens. Please may you help me with this?
Probably not... Because the battery only use for saving bios settings... So if CMOS battery died.. only fev things happened but it's not have any issue.. 1. Everytime when turn on pc, need to press F1 2. BIOS settings reset to default (if you not customise any bios setting, then not problem) 3. System Time & date reset, but after computer boot, windows time automatically update, if you not turn off auto update time and date (because CMOS battery also remember time and date, when motherboard not give power)... So, Simply you can use your pc normally, without any issue......

I'm pretty sure that's not bios issue but failing mosfet or capacitor. Best bet to replace motherboard.

Buying some additional CR2032 batteries is a small price to pay to protect your computer the way you are doing. Keep up the good work!
