* A7N8X bios/boot problem - Save & Exit death problem ?
Hi all - A7N8X Deluxe 1.04 mobo acting up again..
I was playing with a couple of bios settings this morning, this after about a week of good uptime after my last problem on New Years Day (bad BIOS flash), trying to get my machine to O/c to 200 FSB, and all of a sudden the machine just wouldn't POST anymore... I cleared CMOS, and she booted! Yey! So i went in, re-did some of my settings at a lower level, pressed F10, and she's dead. I remember reading about the old Save & Exit problem with these mobo's, so I cleared CMOS, and she booted again!. Went in, re-did my settings, pressed F10, nothing. This endless cycle has continued. I can get her to boot and POST if I clear CMOS. Pick up a replacement battery and installed, same problem. I've tried booting with the battery out, and nothing - I have to clear CMOS first before I can boot. I've rebooted about 5 times this week before this happened, and about 5 times today - I have been having some VPU Recover problems, so the machine locked up on me a few times today while running 3dMark2003... What steps should I take - I tried searching the board for this exact problem, but everyone with the Save & Exit problelm seemed to have the board just die and clearing CMOS or anything else wouldn't revive it. My problem seems slightly different because I can at least restart the machine by just clearing CMOS. But my settings won't save. When I do clear the CMOS, and boot, it will POST and load windows just fine - however, I am running at 13x100 (I have an XP 2100+, so it should be 13x133). It run at 100mhz no matter what the FSB jumper is set to. Can anyone chime in on this, and offer me some advice as to what steps I can try.. any advice please post here, or email me.. cheers, --jb XP 2100+ A7N8X v1.04 bios 1007 3x256 Crucial XMS PC3200 Radeon 9600 Antec 400W Plenty o' drives (5 HD, 3 optical drives) |
