You need to move the BIOS Setup Configuration Jumper from Normal (1-2) to Configure (2-3). Put it back to Normal once done.

^That will work. Easier way is to remove battery for 2 minutes.

hey man i removed the battery but seems like it's not working ne other thing i can do to fix it ?"

 

[rezwan22]

Remove the battery for 30 minutes. Unplug the computer also.

Did you recently try to update your BIOS? The AA number is a code used by the BIOS that identies the motherboard. Most likley causes for this error are usually......
1. Your BIOS has become corrupted or,
2. You have updated with a BIOS not compatible to your board or,
3. This motherboard is in a prebuild and you updated to a BIOS not supported or recognized by the PC manufacturer.

To clairify a little, the AA code is stored on the motherboard and BIOS "reads" it to determine the motherboard type and chipset. No AA code means the BIOS cannot, for whatever reason, determine the AA code.

Is this a homebuild, or a prebuild?

 

[rezwan22]

homebuild ...

If the PC boots, you should be able to flash back to the original BIOS.
If is does not boot, you may have no recourse but to take it to a shop and have them reflash the BIOS for you.

 

[rezwan22]

yes the pc does boot so how do i flash back to the orginal bios ?

BIOS update instructions

[rezwan22]

frist wen i downloaded the bios express file it worked totally fine now when ever im trying to install it it's saying the driver your trying to install is invalid

 

[evongugg]

See if the bios chip is removable or soldered in.
If removable you can get a bios replacement chip from Intel or a third party.

Unless you follow the instructions, e.g., move the jumper to the correct location for what you want to do, you probably won't be able to make it work. This is not an Asus motherboard and removing the battery for hours won't help, particularly if standby power still is applied to the motherboard.
