bios corrupted

[Wills]

Hi all,
My pc bios very often shows while booting that CMOS settings are
corrupted and to press F1 to continue.Hoe to avoid these bios/CMOS
getting corrupted.Is it possible to automate the pressing of F1 incase
the "CMOS/BIos corrupted " message appears?
Thanks in advance.

Well, it's not a DOS programming question, but what the hey!
If your PC is fairly old, it means your CMOS battery is running
flat. Get it replaced. If your PC is quite new, though, it could
indicate a problem with the motherboard. Have it looked into.

I know it's not "technically correct" English; but since when was rock & roll "technically correct"?

Thanks Peter.
