CrashOv3r1de Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Hey guys everytime I power down the system and switch off the PSU via the buttom on and then whenever I power on my system I get a bios checksum error and all data is lost and defaults are reloaded. I noticed that this doesnt happen or happens less when I power down system but down turn off the button on back of psu. I am using the 12/07 Beta Bios. I have tried other versions but still same problem. Is it possible the board was shipped with a bad battery? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdLSmith Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Don't forget you still have power on your board when you leave PSU switch on. You are in "Soft Off" state. You can't clear CMOS properly that way. I agree with icon57, you need a new battery and then Clear CMOS. Yes, it could have shipped with bad battery. It costs less to buy a battery than to ship for RMA though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGone Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 How can I replace the battery without causing any problems? Turn the thing OFF. Remove A/c power cord from power supply. Remove and Replace battery. Wait 2 mins and hook up the power cord to the power supply and go. RGone... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
