Help ! My computer always goes into BIOS when powered up

[err]

Hi,

I am having this problem where my computer always goes into BIOS when it is not properly shutdown (i.e: me pulling the power plug, or the power goes out)

In the BIOS, it always says something like: Check if the CPU is correctly set at the right clock speed

I did NOT overclock my cpu and the speed setting is right.

Why is this so ?
My system is:
Asus CUV4X
Celery 766 Mhz

thanks for any input.

Thats a standard Asus BIOS feature. It's actually quite useful when you change a setting and the boot doesnt complete, you just power down and back on then it resets to defaults and lets you enter the BIOS. Is it really a problem since this only happens when it isnt shut down properly?

Sounds like a Microsoft BIOS: It's a new bug...errr...feature...

I think it is a standard ASUS feature. I've used MSI, Abit and Epox and they do not do this.

Yes this matter since the system is used as a server machine. If power goes out or for some reason the machine is down, it will boot to the BIOS instead of booting normally

Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Get a UPS so it never loses power

Otherwise, I don't think there's a way to disable it. I've never seen an option for it on any of my asus mobos.

Its an ASUS mobo feature. Shutdown properly and it won't happen

You could always try asking ASUS themselves. I sent a query regarding AGP4x and Sidebanding to their tech support email tsd@asus.com.tw

They replied within a couple of days. (unfortunately their reply was to tell me sidebanding was disabled in the bios of my gfx card - but hey ho... )

Get a UPS so that the machine always shuts down properly...since it's a server, you should have power protection anyway!
