by why me worry?

Most likely the CMOS battery got discharged and the system BIOS lost its configuration. I've seen this happen on older laptops. I'm not sure what the key is to access the BIOS, but during the POST process, you should see something on the screen that says "Push ??? to access setup" where the ??? can be F1, F2, Esc, F10, or some other key.

Try updating the system BIOS, this can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. Usually it will involve creating a boot-disk (floppy/usb) and running the update from there.
