Odd thing happened.
I opened up my main PC to test a wifi PCI card.
I cleared out the cobwebbs with some canned air and plugged it in. tests OK.
Pull it out, spray a bit more, and all I get is constant beeping no video. it wont respond to the power button, but did to the reset. I pulled the plug to shut it down. clear the CMOS. didn't change anything. tried a few more times. still nothing. while just sitting there letting it beep, all of the sudden the beep changes and it loads up with the Checksum CMOS error. and all is good (clock and date off). a reset and a power down/up. still all good.
Is this just the battery dieing? or is there something more?
This is an AMD on an Abit NFM2 (early 6150 mobo)
