luxor Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 I had to RMA my MOBO, and am awaiting a replacement. My old one was not booting and was staying on the DFI screen when turned on, or would stay on various Diagnostic LEDs, when i recieve my new one i was wondering wheteher i should reset my CMOS battery or not, before installing system?

Yes, I would recommend resetting the CMOS before the first run, as this should revert to default (conservative) setting that will allow the system to POST whatever the previous setting was. I would expect that the mobo is sold in this (deafult) state anyway, but for example in my case, when I first put my X2 into new NF4 SLI-DR, it couldn't POST, just stayed at 3 LED's. As soon as I cleared the CMOS, everything went fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
