When the computer boots up, the American Megatrends prompt appears, which is usually caused by the BIOS settings not matching the actual hardware configuration or the BIOS detecting some error. In order to solve this problem, here are a few things you can try:
1.Check BIOS settings:Restart the computer and press the DEL key (or other specified key, depending on the motherboard model) on startup to enter the BIOS setup screen. Check in the BIOS for any incorrect device configurations, such as the floppy drive set to enable (144m) while there is actually no floppy drive, or the hard drive is not set up correctly. Correct these settings to the correct state, then save and exit the BIOS.
2.Check the hardware connection:Make sure all hardware connections are secure, including hard drive cables and power cables. If there are loose connections, plugging them back in may solve the problem.
3.System Time Correction:If the system time in the BIOS is incorrect, it can cause this problem. You can correct the system time in the BIOS settings or replace the CMOS battery to maintain the accuracy of the time.
4.Replace the CMOS battery:If the CMOS battery on the motherboard runs out, it can cause the BIOS settings to be lost or incorrect. Replacing the CMOS battery with a new one may solve this problem.
5.Fix the MBR tableIf the operating system is corrupted, you may need to repair the Master Boot Record (MBR) table or reinstall the operating system.
6.Check the boot order:Check the boot sequence in the BIOS to make sure you boot from the hard drive or the correct boot device. If the boot order is wrong, adjust it to the correct order and save it and exit.
7.Hardware Check:If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to further check the hardware, such as hard drives, memory, etc., for faults.
Among the above 7 mistakes, the mistakes we usually encounter are (1.)4.6) Please note that if you are not familiar with BIOS settings or hardware operation, it is recommended to seek help from a professional technician. During operation, make sure the computer is powered off and take electrostatic protection measures. I hope the above content can help you, thank you for liking and paying attention to the collection!
