That could eliminate the possibilty of a faulty battery. There are also several instances of AB9 (Pro) with ANTEC PSU problems. The first switch on powers the PSU but never reaches the motherboard. Then at the second switch on, the power does go thru, but the system has already reset itself. If it turns out to be BIOS, U-ABIT will send him a new chip if he needs it. If it's a new board, he can (most likely) get a case number from U-ABIT and get a brand new one. Covering all bases for accurate diagnosis.

All are on defaults as you guys suggested, but bios flash still gives the CMOS checksum error.

Could it be a bad chip ? Or did I reset CMOS the wrong way ? I read somewhere you need to reset the cover on the 3 pin connector to clear, boot the PC, then reset the little cover to the normal position, then boot, to completely make the PC normal ?

Is it possible to kill the motherboard just because of my error in changing the value from SPD to DDR2 800 RAM ?
