Epox 8kha+ Owners Beware!

[jzodda]

Ok I was going crazy- was about to RMA the board when I read a post here about the CMOS settings in the manual being backwards. I thought I was going crazy. When the clear cmos was jumpered to clear I would get power and when jumpered as normal I got nothing. I could not for the life of me figure it out. Then I read a post about it being backward in the manual but in the little sheet with the non-english stuff had it listed the OPPOSITE way. Can you believe a motherboard company would release a MB manual with Clear CMOS as backward! Thats CRAZY!

Just had to vent it to you guys- feel better already 🙂

Yep it was corrected in the later manuals but if you are not sure, on the motherboad as the correct settings for clearing CMOS.

jzodda,

I'm glad you said something about this. I'm the kind of guy who would have tried everything else until I broke something to figure out what's wrong with my system before I figured that out. thanks 🙂

I am confused too. In my Epox manual and the little sheet that comes with it, the Clear CMOS settings are different. Which one is correct? The manual or the little sheet? Also, which setting is better? CLEAR CMOS or Default? Thanks

You have to have the setting at default in order to boot up, otherwise it it clears the CMOS, and you don't want that, (unless you need to), but for standard usage it has to be at Default.
