A7N8X Motherboard Low Temperature Sensitivity, CMOS Checksum
Error



SHORT VERSION:


Replace the cmos battery, that board is well known for having a
marginally acceptable battery installed. This ties in with the
temperature and cmos checksum errors, a failing battery will not seem to
work at lower temps but be fine when the temp increases.

As for the board being sensitive to cold, I'm afraid that your theory is
wrong, the colder you run most electronics the better, overclockers have
run this board submerged in a non-conductive fluid at -30C.

It may seem odd that a £1 battery could be causing all your probs but
I've seen it on two of those boards, and read about plenty other battery
problems, It's an excellent board otherwise.
