Hey guys, I'm currently having a problem with a new budget system I built from stuff I ordered off Newegg.
The problem I am having is that when I boot my system I get one beep then two beeps. The error displayed is "cmos battery is low". I've tried swapping cmos battery with some spare ones I had but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I've tried resetting to Optimal settings in the Bios, no effect.
At times my system does not even boot. It turns the lights and fans on but that's it. When it doesn't boot, I have to unplug it and replug the system for it to start working again.
I've tried readjusting RAM, CPU, and 4830. I think it's my motherboard or possibly psu that is causing the problems but I don't want to send it back and end up still having the problem with a replacement. Any ideas?
