firefox is best. hands down and free and is more secure. my tech radar C14 dates this PC 2005. the coin cell is dead or on the cusp. 2005 is XP OS, the worst virus magnet on earth. IE 1 to 10 are banned now, IE11 soon or partly. at banks so IE is never good, then or now. Firefox, is free and safe from only the mozilla site. nobody else. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ best for fast, and safe,best for fast updates and security best for vast extensions, (like noads)

that is a great post , and PXE is clear known well error. This CMOS coin cell is dead. now NVRAM forgot all setting, for BIOS now from that act, PXE gets turned in BIOS and must not ever be. PXE means remove LAN server boot, (thin net) for businesses. never you. the fix is 10 steps. New coin cell battery the reset bios like this. 9 simple steps clicks) https://www.pcdied.com/cmos.html#Reset_only.

no model told at all. zero clues it's inside it's on the motherboard (MOBO) or pig tail CMOS coin there. any shop can do it, some laptops (is it) have 35 screws to reach it.

1. the OS is messed up or
2. the coin cell cmos battery is dead, making it confused.

old old laptops 2007 (sept, released) came new with VISTA OS. or XP.

• 2007 , relic
• all batterys are no good, remove huge leave it out.
• replace RTC CMOS battery, now BIOS works.
• test the HDD (ask) if bad a new one must put here.
• Reload the OS, if lost? go to free linux. run what
• W10 will never run here, most of these are in dumps now.

DNS issue use the Ethernet port , with cat5 cable see it does work my wild guess is your wifi is down, on PC or home. if at home? are you running XP>? here is one model of that PC, CQ62-220SA see that 220SA, not told by you, CQ62-nnnLL????? some are W7 on all PCs made test Ethernet first. if good then fix wifi 2nd or the labor can be horrific. in the router settings, set dns to , 1.1.1.1 or best DNS there is. Cloudflare

why, well all PC s fail. every one , owned long enough. Just like cars, same reason (entropy) USA model. laptop, relic first Presario was year 2000. last update 2004 drivers runs XP, are you running the worse virus magnet on earth. what will be wrong, lots. (non monitor told)

1. CMOS coin cell dead long ago, must replaced $1 part.
2. HDD bad.
3. XP is infected. (and will repeat endlessly)
4. Huge battery too, is bad, leave it out run on AC power pack.

there is no support for this PC, at HP.com, .

open side cover of case DC5000 MT, or SFF case size? https://www.pcdied.com/Gifs/rightsideoff2.gif look inside see green PCB mobo. see coin cell socket. use wood tooth pick to pop it ,most safely put in new coin cell. (not backwards) and do this. (9 steps) BIOS reset https://www.pcdied.com/cmos.html#Reset_only.

IE7 is not banned world wide so is moot now. end it. get firefox v95 free and vastly more safe./ this old PC is XP and XP is virus magnet. never run XP ever, now or after year 2009 (w7 born) ok>?

bad LCD. costly fix or bad GPU chip local. to LCD , but I think not.

e2180 is not a pc model it is in fact just the CPU. did you mean WILD GUESS Presario SR5450F WITH VISTA OS NEW? ?????????????????????????????????????? the desktops vast models have sticker on 1 of 6 sides telling what it is. I see photos of it top front left side the model sticker. oops scraped off.? let me guess,"all over driver"?????????????? you have this relic, and HP ended the support page so those huge blocks of driver there are gone right? sure. You want HP (compaq) full SET of drivers or your unstated OS. so we must guess what OS this runs or goals?????? THE CMOS BATTERY IS DEAD AND HE HDD IS NO GOOD NOW. BUT MUST BE REPLACED FIRST. HP DOES NOT SUPPORT VISTA AT ALL OR THIS PC NOW. HP OWNS COMPAQ FOR 20 YEARS. HP ENDED Support about 12 years ago, RIP, relic PC but linux can be put on it, and logs of work getting sound up and Ethernet.

Old Desktop, now 16 years old. well it is old and needs service as all do that old as in HARDware first. the PC is 2006 old, a super relic now. The Cmos battery this old is no good after 7 years. old. so that be hopeless and makes BIOS go MAD just like you saw. so replace it. for $1 , lane 15 CR2032 coin cell battery then do this. 9 steps, next https://www.pcdied.com/cmos.html#Reset_only. next is that useless old 16 year old HDD, we test it next, if bad no OS on earth will load or run there, Impossible.! (like flat tire on a car same thing) I use a linux boot dvd to run disktest, Ubuntu v20 more move the relic hdd to 2nd good PC and run this on that. or just buy a SSD 128gb for $20 and end the HDD pain.....now. 10s seconds at run, and done. https://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup/ 100% free, safe and no ads or other junk here, pure GOLD see free linux boot, run disk tests here. https://www.pcdied.com/linux.html

a 2002 PC made new, 20 years old, a record here for old and useless really it will grow a virus soon, (I warned you) last person on XP on earth are you, ?? why? most 2002 PC can not boot all things we see now today. usb what, not told. I have USB SSD, drive USB flash memory thumb drive. USB m2. drive USB DVD drive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002, boot choices, in the manual. hdd cd floppy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- no usb listed in the manual go bios PAGE 1 setup find all entry points showing USB the all for boot see no USB devices allowed boot in 2002 see boot order, in bios if the device fails to show up there it is dead. what did you put on the USB drive, Linux installer? not told. the manual tells to set boot order first, to 1st thing needed to boot, if USB fails to show up there , it does not support it. some relic BIOS ive seen have line there called allow USB to boot. no kidding look for that too. answering for usb boot device not told tested and working on modern PC.

Robert, They do accept computers for recylcing, however, they only accept them during recycling events. For events in your area, go here: http://www.bbycommunications.com/crnew/recyclingevents.asp Other options are giving it away to someone in need...Good Luck!
