Motherboard problem
« on: August 28, 2012, 12:41:40 pm »

Recently my PC takes a looong time to start. Before the BIOS screen apears and stuff it takes like 5 minutes and during that time the screen is black. And when it starts I get this message:

"************************WARNING***************************
Too many cold reset due BIOS POST. System might be incorrectly overclocked.
Press F1 to continue."

I hope its not a sign of being on it's last feet because I just changed the damn thing about 1 month ago.

That appears when you set the clock too high or change a component which is the motherboard in your case, try and reset BIOS settings(open the case and look for a button on the motherboard that sais clear cmos or clear bios)

Im not computer expert, but I think he meant taking out clock battery for 5- 10 mins, and put it back, so it resets all settings i bios, also it might be problem with cables, try to push them in, and look if its not hard disc problem (mine pc loaded so slowly, because of the h-disc, (bios etc) so I got it changed and its back quite fast :P).

Doesn't going in the BIOS menu and reseting everything to default do the job? I also noticed that it does this only when my computer is off for long time.

Inasmuch as you saying you did nothing to clocking your device...
I have only one question. How old is your PC?
Maybe it's really time to change BIOS battery for new one?

Remove CMOS battery, then put it back. No guarantees.

Googled a bit and in many cases (when no overclocking done) the reason was poorly connected component or PSU not providing enough power. So you could try to remove and install all components again and try different PSU.

You could also check your motherboard's manual for instructions to reset your BIOS properly.

If you don't have any buttons on your motherboard then do that
taking out clock battery for 5- 10 mins, and put it back, so it resets all settings i bios
And you said that its 1 month old so you can just return it where you bought it

Yes just 1 month old, I changed it after the other one got fried. Whats strange is that it worked fine until a few days ago :/ . Forgot to say that the mother board's brand is MSI . Now I'm not really into mother boards brand's and stuff, but I don't think this one is top of the line. The other one was ASRock.
