Bios aint savin yo!

[wootie]

Aye aye aye!

 

I just dont know what to say. I've grown to love my dfi ultraII-M2I infinity but sheesh this things keeps pooping on me sometimes. between regular boots it's ok. but whenever i touch that switch behind the psu and leave it off for the night or something, the next morning i find the bios settings have been reset. why doesnt it save my settings?

 

this makes OC'ing a pain in the rear cuz it keeps reverting to its own thing.

help???

Replace the battery.

yup just snds like you need to replace the battery..

[wootie]

see, but the thing is if i dont pull the power cord or shut off the psu after shutting down computer, it's fine. even for days.

but the minute I shut off psu switch or power cable, the bios resets.

 

basically, if the standby power led ever goes off, the bios resets.

 

this is a new board too. havent even touched the battery.

its recieving power from the wall outlet, thats what is saving the bios data, once that goes it relies on the battery, which by the sounds of it, isnt doing its job.

[wootie]

no.... haha, you know what the problem was?

 

when i looked at the bios options closely, I noticed the option to enable the "BIOS settings cacheable" in the advanced chipset menu.

 

fixed it, and now it's working like a charm. glad there was nothing wrong with the board though.

 

and thx for the reply:)
