Chosen Solution
I am getting a screen that says the following when I turn on the computer; “WARNING! BIOS Recovery mode has been detected. Please put the file “CM6870.CAP" into HDD or a removable USB media device, and then reset your computer. You can also insert ASUS Support CD to your CD-ROM and reset your computer. If you have done these, please wait a moment and don’t shutdown system!!! System will be automatically rebooted.” I’m really confused because I can’t seem to find anywhere to download “CM6870.CAP”, and I don’t know what the ASUS Support CD is referring to. I got this computer from a friend a few years ago and this was very sudden. I really don’t know what to do. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @charaflower07 Lets try a different tact. Switch power off (should be a switch on the power supply at the rear of computer) *
- Unplug power cord. * Press main power button on front of computer.
- Open up the side panel from the case and take out the coin size - can’t miss it between the CPU and the memory sticks. If you look closely at it you will see a little bit of metal jutting out over the coin battery. Press this back and the battery should pop out. Press power buton Photo of motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/Asus-P8H77-M-CM68...Leave it like this for about a half hour so all power discharges. What we are attempting to do is factory reset the BIOS. Yours may have become corrupted by a power surge, accidentally shutting, system crash, etc.
