Hello All,

I am new to this site as I never really had an issue I could not resolve.

My wife was on our Dell Inspiron 1545 the other day when the screen started to flicker and the computer had to be shut down.

On reboot the dell logo came up but the error message "time of day clock stopped". followed and nothing else would work.

I did some research online and came across a post where some users were able to revive their laptop after replacing their CMOS battery located on the motherboard.

I dismantled my laptop and replaced the battery and put the laptop back together and was able to boot into CMOS settings and can even pick my boot options.

My issue now is when I try booting up my Windows 7 from my HDD the Windows 7 boot screen starts and when the little colors start to appear I get the "blue screen" and the computer reboots.

I have tried this with 2 HDD's and have the same issue.

Is there something I am missing? I did not add or remove any hardware so I am not sure what to do?

Any Assistance would be much appropriated!

Thank You,
