I try to boot up but while initializing it stops the
bootup and gives me a CMOS message that "SYSTEM IS NOT
SET UP, CMOS error code 162.
What is wrong and how can I fix this problem. It did boot
up and run before this problem started.

You need to access BIOS setup and establish the correct
configuration for your system. Inside BIOS setup there
might be an option to restore system defaults - that is a
suitable starting point, but you may need to make changes
to accomodate some specific details of your machine
configuration.

The most likely reason for this problem is that the CMOS
battery is flat and needs to be replaced (BIOS setup data
is stored in CMOS RAM).
