I think the Gigabyte book says to wait 10 minutes after you remove the
battery to clear the CMOS, or you can short the battery holder contacts
and then there is no waiting at all. Make sure to unplug the PC first. In
my book that's on pade 97.

With F8 installed, my PC totally freezes up when I try to enter the BIOS
menu screen.

I can press the DEL key one or more times at different points during the
initial boot up process, and until the add-on BIOSes are processed (GigRAID,
Promise SX4000 RAID controller card), I don't get the BIOS menu screen.
Then, the PC does not respond to any keyboard input. With F7B, I had no
problems like this.

I have also removed both the CMOS battery and the power supply AC cord,
waited 5 minutes, and still no change in behavior.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Anyone? I am still using F5, wondering if I should update.

Thanks
