Good Morning, before I start I want to apologise for repeating this topic, I am fully aware it is present on other threads, all of which I have read.
Around three weeks ago, I installed an Asus Xonar DSX 7.1 Surround Sound Card, onto my motherboard. Upon boot up, I see my motherboard splash screen, and then a blue screen. The following message occurs:
Post Error Occurs!
CMOS Checksum Error
Defaults Loaded
Press F1 to Continue
I am then given a choice of profiles which I can load, by selecting them with my arrow keys and hitting enter. I am also given the choice to load 'Last Known Good'.
Now, I know how this sounds, you will typically say CMOS Battery. Below is a list of the things I have tried:
Resetting and Reseating the CMOS Battery ( I have to remove the Sound Card to do this then replace it when I am finished)
Changing the CMOS Battery
Leaving my PC on for 12 hours
Removing the soundcard and booting without it.
Now, just to be clear, this issue happens on every boot, and a small 'click' can be heard, it sounds electrical, like something is discharging.
I am forced to manually reset the date and time every time I get to my desktop, and some of my icons do not show in the notification area, and my default programs (EVGA Precision X, Corsair Link) do not load.
If I try to reboot, even two or three times to get my default programs back, the date and time stays the same, but my PC Hangs terribly (task manager fails) on desktop, forcing me to reboot several times.
Now, I have been told that this could either be a motherboard or PSU Issue. I will list my specs below:
CPU: AMD FX 8320 - Black Edition Octo Core Processor (Vishera)
GPU: NVidia GeForce EVGA GTX 780ti SC (w/o ACX cooler) 3GB
Cooler: Corsair H100i Hydro Liquid Cooler
RAM: 16GH Corsair Vengeance 1333Mhz (2x8)
PSU: OCZ Vertex ZS Series 750W (Non Modular)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3
Boot Drive: OCZ Vertex 128GB SSD
Main Drive: Seagate Barracuda1TB 7200rpm HDD
This issue is driving me insane, and I refuse to believe that a CMOS battery could cause this because I have tried everything apart from jumping it (something which I am neither willing or confident enough to do) and even changing it didn't work, and yes I did use a 3V 2032.
Any help would be massively appreciated!
Thanks
