Epox EP-8RDA+

Sometimes when I boot up my computer, my computer will not post. On the display on the motherboard, it says "FF". At the same time, it emits alternating continuous high and low pitched beeps.

However, if I turn the switch on my power supply off for a few seconds, then turn it back on, my computer will usually boot up fine.

Do you know what is wrong and how I can fix it? I am using a 350W power supply (which should be enough).

Thanks!

FF - This code can be life or death for your motherboard, literally. FF means a successful boot or a complete failure. This normally means that your bios chip is dead or not being accessed properly. Try tapping or holding insert while attempting to boot the system, resetting the cmos, or: If your floppy drive makes any noise when booting, but the system appears dead, try placing a floppy in the drive with a copy of the latest bios file on it. This might cause the system to use an emergency re-flash feature.
