I really don't want to drive back up to North Houston!
I wouldn't want to drive in Houston under any circumstances, either.
JTH "Strontium" wrote in message ... It's a bad CMOS chip. The board is going back. I've cleared CMOS, till the cows came home. Thanks for your input, anyway. - tomcas stood up, at show-n-tell, and said: You need to unplug the PS before you short with the clear jumper. Then remove the jumper before plugging the the PS back in. Also reinstall the battery after you clear the CMOS. I've never had to remove the battery before clearing the CMOS on other Asus boards but I can't see as it would hurt as long as you reinstall it after clearing. If you still have trouble, try changing the position of the auto/manual JEN jumper if there is one on this board. Better to start with one memory stick at first and trying different slots can help sometimes. If you still have trouble, try removing any cards in the pci slots. Once you get to bios setup go and load setup defaults. Tom Strontium wrote: PS beforehand: Sorry for the crosspost, but I'm very sure that someone in these two groups (homebuilt, and overclocking) has experienced the same issue??? Ok, I've been looking for posts on this subject. While I continue to look, I'll pose my problem: This is the Asus P4C800 motherboard. I cannot, for the life of me, get into CMOS. This is an initial build. It detects all the drives, yada, yada, then gives 4 rapid beeps (No BIOS timer, according to the manual). The message displayed says "BIOS clock not set" "Incorrect BIOS settings" and "Overclocking Failed" What gives? CPU is a P42.4C, memory is Samsung PC3200. I've tried about everything. Pulled one of the memory modules out, 'cleared' CMOS...to no avail. On boot, the status says my memory is running at 266MHz!!!! The final insult: It tells me to enter setup to change settings. I can't get there! Currently, am leaving the battery out and leaving the clearcmos jumper shorted. From reading (I posted this to the group) the Asus MB group, this seems to be a recurring theme with the later generation boards with respect to CMOS not discharging like it should. Anyone?
