Iwill KD266-BIOS will not fully load...

[jdeare]

I get stuck at the CPU ID in the BIOS initialization... Award 6.00PG, Duron 1300.

I did not change anything... just powered it down, and tried to start up the next day and got this.

Any ideas?

Have you tried resetting the bios via the onboard jumper?

Yep, tried that... also took all the memory out and switched it around, got no change no matter which stick was in which slot (Crucial PC100 SDRAM).

It's been suggested to me that my CMOS battery might be dead. Would that cause a boot failure? I would have thought I would get a "Battery Dead" error message, or the time would be off...
