Black screen before login, ”Time & Date not set, F1: boot”

Hello,

I know black screen is a highly asked question here, however non of the answers I’ve seen here has been successful in solving my problem.

I have an HP Pavilion Desktop running Windows 10. When I try to boot it I first get a black screen with some system information and it days ”Date & Time not set. F1: boot”. When I press F1 it leeds to the windows logo for and a circle for a minute then proceedes to a black screen with a cursor.

I’ve changed the CMOS battery, without any difference. I can’t reach Task Manager, and still get black screen when I try to boot it in safe mode.

Does anyone have any idea on fixes/causes? The CPU is just half a year old, the harddrive is a year old SSD. The rest of the computer is from 2015.

Thanks in advance,

Fredrik

    Best Regards

    Hi Fredrik,

    What is the exact Model No. of your HP PC, that should be printed on a label on the bottom case of your PC.
