my desktop has started to tell me through it’s voice error notification program that there is no CPU installed where the computer is fully functional and operational.

I remember this happening quite a while back, but I don’t remember how to get it to stop…

it’s getting rather irritating LOL

just thought I’d share.

Does it boot at all or does it stop at POST?

Reset your BIOS settings… load defaults… perhaps that could help.

CPU overheating? Overclocking? Damaged? Not inserted properly?

it is totally fine, and it stopped after a power off… but it was still odd. it loaded windows and I was watching tv and everything… noticed a funny sound, closed the tv program and it was the bios talking at me…

strange no ?

like the computer was working totally fine, no issues, just talking at me “CPU not installed” in windows everything… really strange.
