Just so anyone who reads this knows: I have replaced 3 of these mobos already. I am returning it tomorrow again to exchange for an MSI mobo. I will never buy another ASUS product ever again. 3 boards with CMOS CHECKSUM errors, and the last one's onboard NIC doesn't work. Plus it gets CHECKSUM...

Well, I hope that works :\ Anybody else have any ideas before I run off and do this? I don't wanna have to replace the mobo AGAIN, but hey..

Sorry, I dunno if I was all that clear :( I haven't replaced the battery yet, I want to but I need to wait until tomorrow so I can go find one. I've replaced the actual motherboard, and it's still doing it, though :\ Maybe it's just a bad batch, but I can't figure it out :(

hehe, I wish it was that simple :\ all the jumpers that I can tell are set properly.. and this IS the second board already with the same issue :\ I've tried clearing the CMOS, removing the battery, etc.. :\

Howdy, maybe someone here has some ideas.. First off: There are no BIOS Updates for this board available, it is brand new. I bought this board for my brother, since it's cheap and the a7n8x is a good board. Everything is integrated, which is dandy for this purpose. Problem is, I get the...
