Motherboard bios resets everytime

[rounakr94]

My mobo bios resets everytime(CMOS error) I do a new boot after shutting down. Board is M5a78l m le. The bios is faulty and replacing it didnt help. And when it does this my graphics card is also not detected and after I restart the gpu is detected. So can this faulty mobo damage my GPU, CPU and other components? Should I remove my GPU and insert it after I buy a new mobo.

BTW are gigabyte mobo's good? I am in a tight budget and cant spend more than 40-50$ on a new mobo. This mobo just gave off after its 3yr warranty ended 🙁

One model that I have in mind is the GA-78lmt-USB3 from Gigabyte.

Specs of old pc:
AMD FX-4300
2x HyperX FURY Memory Blue - 4GB Module - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM
Sapphire R7 260x 2gddr5 OC
Asus M5A78L M LE
WD Caviar Black 500gb
Corsair CX430 80+ Bronze
Lg standard DVD Writer
Antec X1 Chassis

Yes, Gigabyte makes very good motherboards and the GA-78lmt-USB3 is a well-reviewed model. Would be a fine choice to replace your current board.

Here's a good general review of the board if you're interested: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/pcs/motherboards/52489/gigabyte-78lmt-usb3-review

Any differences between Rev 4.1, 5.0 and 6.0 of this Gigabyte model or just color change?

 

[Luminary]

On the specification pages between the three, the main differences are:

1) Integrated sound cards vary between the three, Rev 6 is slightly better than the others

2) Rev 6.0 will have the more current BIOS for the board...so I'd get that one if I could. Will probably play better with other hardware right out of the box.

Wait a second, my memory is not showing as supported in this model

 

[Luminary]

The board supports:

-DDR3 1600(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz
-32GB total

You didn't post your RAM above so I can't verify for you.

Sorry its 2 HyperX FURY Memory Blue - 4GB Module - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM

Saw some Youtube video builds using the same mobo and ram and it worked

 

[Luminary]

Obvisouly not officially supported, but if you've seen evidence of the exact same RAM that you have working on that board it should be fine.

Yea a person built it, just he has the white one and I have the blue one
