2Replace the CMOS battery, invest in a battery backup, and configure it to communicate with your PC so it will shutdown after a loss of power. Ask other people in the dorm what they do about the situation.– RamhoundCommented Mar 3, 2022 at 17:52

Was the machine running or shut down at this point?– TetsujinCommented Mar 3, 2022 at 17:53

@Tetsujin It was always shutdown. I tried changing what the windows shut down button does, because on default it goes to some like semi sleep state, but it didnt do anything.– VukašinCommented Mar 3, 2022 at 17:54

@Ramhound I will try replacing the CMOS, the motherboard is 4 years old and I think it shouldn't have died this early but I played with it so much during the years it wouldn't suprise me. I can try asking some people around about it but I think it is a specific problem to me. It look a lot of troubleshooting to even realise how to make it post in the first place, I feel like if a less techy guy encountered this problem he would send his PC to a repair shop.– VukašinCommented Mar 3, 2022 at 17:57

@Vukašin - 4 year battery life is about 3 more than I typically would expect since the battery wasn't new when the machine was brand new. As I suggested the battery backup unit (specifically UPS) might be of use.– RamhoundCommented Mar 3, 2022 at 18:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
