The CMOS seems to be invalid. That could be an (rather unusual) hardware failure, the result of a aborted BIOS-flashing attempt, or the result of a virus deliberately damaging it.

You can try one more thing: there might be a jumper on your mainboard that clears the CMOS, usually labeled "CLEAR CMOS" on the MB. Power down your computer, set that jumper and power it on for a few seconds, then power it down, reset the jumper and start the computer again. If that works, however, you will have to reconfigure your BIOS.

If it does not work, the easiest way to regain access to your PC would be to replace the mainboard. You might have a socketed BIOS, but depending on the age of your computer, it is a major pain in the bottom to find a suitable replacement.

Additionally, if you buy a new MB, do NOT start your computer immediately after. If a virus caused the problem, it will probably damage your new MB as well. If you need the data on your HDD, buy a new HDD, install Windows and an up-to-date antivirus software onto the new HDD, and then mount and scan the old HDD.



Cheers,
Sebastian
