"Omnoms"? Are you sure that's what it says? It seems unlikely. However, if you are getting a prompt to press F2 (or some other function key) to enter Setup, then probably you need to replace your CMOS battery. That's an easy and cheap fix to try anyway. Hopefully your computer is a desktop and not a laptop.

I have also noticed that clock and date are not keeping updated correctly
Before anyone whose clock is running slow rushes out to buy a new
battery, he should first take note of whether he is losing time while
the computer is running or while it's powered off. If it's while
powered off, the problem is very likely the battery. But if it's
while running, it can not be the battery, because the battery isn't
used while the computer is running.

True. But since the OP is getting the requirement to enter the BIOS it does mean something else is wrong. Let's hope it's just the battery! :-)
Sure. The battery is inexpensive and easy to fix. I just wanted to
alert him to the fact that it could be something else.
