Problem

dannyboy91 · 18 Dec 2007 at 17:03

So for the past few days I sety my new build up an its working almost perfectly but one problem...

Everytime I turn it off of a night to go to bed, when I wake up the next day it wont turn on becaudse the BIOS has resetted (Voltages has changed etc) so to fix this I take one slot of ram out an put it back in an it'll turn on fine and then I change the BIOS back to what it was....

Why is it my BIOS+CMOS Keeps resetting? Anyway to fix this would be great thanks!

Also would it matter what slots I have my RAM in? I have 2GBx2 an one in a blue slot and the other in a blue slot...

Can anyone tell me if my 3DMark06 score is good for my set-up too?
My score was as follows...

3DMark Score 11654 3DMarks

SM 2.0 Score 4499 Marks

SM 3.0 Score 5299 Marks

CPU Score 3656 Marks

and my set-up is
Abit-IP35 Pro Motherboard
OCZ 4GB RAM
Q6600 @ 2.4
8800GTS 512...

Nothing has been overclocked atall....

Sorry for so many questions bu thanks again for any infp/help

Literally just read a thread with this problem a few mins ago but cant find it now. Same motherboard as yours and it was resolved by latest bios.

Bump again

Just incase im missing anything...to save the BIOS i should just exit it right? ofcourse press "y" when it prompts me to exit with the changes?
or is it more to it to save it?
Please help

Hitting F10 to save then exiting, or just exiting and pressing Y should work afaik.

Have you updated/flashed the BIOS like suggested?

Check the CMOS battery with a multimeter/tester, should be registering about 3V, if not then that's your problem

that's a problem I've encontered a number of times, they are only pennies to replace and always worth doing, I've even seen them be below voltage on a new board.
