Hi! The problem is that when I start the computer my BIOS setup starts automatic and i have to press F2 to continue or F1 for setup. I dont want that the setup start by itself. Anyone knows how to get rid of it? (The product is wrong... Not that computer)

Next time this happens press F1 to go into bios. Check the date and time. If they are wrong its likely the cmos battery needs replacing.

It's right time and date so that's not the problem.

I THINK it could be a memory problem.

There might be a key to see the memory count up.

It is counting up everytime. It seems like the computer checking everything (what's conected, how much ram and so on) everytime it starts up..

Hi, best way to check the memory is to download Memtest86 from here, if you don't already have it, though it doesn't sound like memory troubles.

Is the computer OK once it does start?
