Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.
Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?
Home PCs weren’t a thing when my parents were growing up :)
At a guess though, the battery on your motherboard was flat, and the motherboard was throwing a warning whenever you turned the machine on. That was a common issue
It still is, but it was too!
