BIOS keeps resetting to defaults?

by rafalski . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

I have a problem with a laptop that I can not really figure out and I am not sure if it can be fixed but I figured I give it a try. Basically the Laptop has encryption software on it (Pointsec), the user had a security class where they downloaded and installed another encryption software. Now the laptop keeps rebooting and blue screening all the time. I have isolated the problem to the BIOS getting reset to Enable SATA Native Support. As soon as I disable it (which is standard for the HP dv2025 in our neighborhood) the Laptop works fine for a few minutes, then resets and blue screens again. I know when I used a new HD in the same laptop, it seems to work ok, so its not a battery or MB problem. Does anyone have any feedback on this ? I already tried password protecting the BIOS but it did not help.
