Hi all,
My brand new Asus P6T is not remembering its bios settings if I completely disconnect it from power.
If I simply turn my computer off and back on it's ok, no problem.
But if I turn my power supply off or disconnect the power cable, the next time I power on the computer the bios has reset to default settings.
Things I've tried:
1. Updated the BIOS to latest version 603
2. Made sure the reset cmos jumper is in the right position.
3. Reset the bios using the cmos jumper and then put it back in correct position (pins 1-2).
4. Tried a different CMOS battery I know works
I read in the P6T manual there is a C.P.R function, where if your system fails to start due to overclocking, the mobo will automatically reset to default values once you have disconnected the power and then turned it back on. Surely this should only happen after failure to boot from overclocking though!? I am not overclocking yet. It resets even from very simple modifications.
I've posted this on the Asus forums and the two replies so far have the exact same problem and tried what I have - new cmos battery etc - one mentioned he's seen others with the problem. I'd like to get some more feedback from P6T owners (Just vanilla P6T please, no P6T Deluxe owners as that is a different board ).
To properly test, you need to disconnect the mobo from power until the motherboard lights switch off. 20 seconds should do it. Power back on and see if your bios has reset to default. To save your bios settings so you can easily reload them, go to the "ASUS O.C. Profile" section under the Tools menu and save your settings to a profile.
Thanks guys.
