    Brand new build using the above board. I can't get this board to post when the mains have been switched off unless I press the BIOS reset switch. If I shut down but leave the mains power connected then I can boot OK every time but as soon as I switch off at socket, I can't get it to post again. The power and fans come on but no beeps, the monitor remains blank and the memory light remains on. All other components new and working (tested in different board). When the bios reset switch is pressed the pc posts at defaults settings and I change nothing, I can shut down and restart as many times as I want as long as I don't switch of at socket. I've not overclocked anything and my memory is running well below spec, any suggestions welcome before I do an rma

    Have you checked the seating of the CMOS battery? Might be worth changing it in case it is faulty/flat?

    Apart from that an RMA may be your best bet.

    hey cheers mate, swapped over battery and all is working fine now. I took it for granted that a brand new board would have a good battery.......just goes to show eh? :)

    That's great news :) Guess the odd dud battery slips through occasionally.
