Hey jonneh, I think you'll have an easier time getting advice if you post on the correct section (Homebuilt systems).

try resetting the cmos by shorting the 2 pins next to the motherboard battery for a couple seconds...see page 7 for location and page 33 of the manual for the instructions...good luck
