Just seen this.. Did this happen after the BIOS Flash? Or did it take a few days?

Hey Merlin I am also thinking possibly needs a new BIOS battery.

It did happen about a week after I flashed the BIOS on both machines. I did the flash and then the machine reboots, and then it ran for about a week and then after I rebooted them again, this is when the problem started.

I tried a video card to see if the onboard card might've been the problem. But it didn't work. I was told adding a separate video card would override the onboard video. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it was worth a try. No successful.

It should but you would have to go into your BIOS and turn off obaords video..(just in case.) But then again it wont even post your BIOS screen..


What all do you have in your system? And what size power supply do you have?
