I am having a problem with a new computer that I have built. All of the components that I used were brand new. This is not the first computer that I have built, but it is the first time having problems.
** When the system begins POST, I get a CMOS CheckSum error loading defaults.
I know that the most common cause of this is a dead CMOS battery, so I replaced it. I am still getting the same error.
** I can get the computer to boot by just accepting the CMOS error, but if I try to make any changes in BIOS, and save the changes the computer will not POST after the restart, I just get a black screen. The motherboard seems to be working ok, and all of the fans are running. The only way I get it to POST again, is to clear the CMOS settings.
** Once I get to the OS, and I want to shut down or restart, It won't POST again, unless I clear the CMOS. (re-occurring problem).
I have contacted the motherboard tech-support, but have had no reply.
Computer Specs:
---XFX nForce 680i LT socket 775 motherboard
---Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 2 GHz CPU
---OCZ Platinum 2048 MB RAM
---Ultra 750w X2 Power Supply
---Windows XP Professional
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help
