    Finally got my M1710 fixed, and when I boot it, I get this message. It never used to do this until I replaced the GPU.

    I cannot access the BIOS at all. It just loads, and this shizzle pops up. I have no BIOS password set at all.

    What on earth do I do?

    This is typically indicative of a dead CMOS battery... but doesn't it say something like "press F1 to continue or F2 to enter setup"?
