Besides the keyboard, mouse and monitor what else have you got plugged into the machine?
Have you attempted to overclock this machine?

Take your memory down to just one stick, use a standard PS2 mouse and keyboard not USB and read your motherboard manual very carefully and check all the settings and jumpers, according to you BIOS report you are attempting to overclock and it has failed, you may have a jumper set wrong.

ECS boards are usually considered low end, it is possible that you recieved one with a bad BIOS/CMOS battery, that is why the BIOS/CMOS settings will not save your changes and reverts back to default.
If the battery is dead you can either replace it or return/exchange the motherboard. I would recommend you exchange it to a quality brand like ASUS. But I could be wrong and I suggest you also do what rjfvillarosa suggested. |

Your bios needs updating to support a Pentium D 9xx processor. The 945 chipset did not support it when it was released because it didn't exist.

The ECS site was down when I posted my first reply - now that I've looked, there are different hardware revisions of the 945P-A board. Make SURE you get the correct bios.

with all the board revisions how can he be sure to get the right one? I wonder if ECS provides software to update the BIOS?
 Ok I looked again and it says how to verify pcb revision. Last edited by tempus; 08-09-2006 at 04:59 PM. |
