Hey all,
Sorry that my first post is a problem, but I'm sure that's common on here. So I'm having quite a few issues with my rig. It really hasn't run well to since day one to be honest. So I decided to do a clean install of everything again as my windows files and game files are all corrupted (this happens a lot). I usually clean everything out and get rid of all the dust, as I was doing this, I noticed that my 3 prong for the CMOS has no jumper on it. I just read up about this CMOS stuff the other day and didn't know what it was until this cleaning (I'm pretty new to computers so go easy). I'm wondering what effect this would have on the computer with no jumper being on there. I have never been able to get my bios settings right since day one as they never seem to save properly, could this be why? Could the constant crashing and such I've been experiencing keep causing files to corrupt? for some reason my memory always acted up and I constantly get memory errors (windows memory checker error 1202, battle eye corrupted memory, and some others I can't remember. I have tried two different types of ram so I know it's not faulty sticks. I also have a small collection of SSD drives now so I know it's not from that. I don't recall ever taking the jumper off but I may have done it when I first built it for whatever reason (again I'm pretty new ha ha) I do get beeps at startup but I never paid attention to them as I didn't know any better.
This is my setup if it helps
FX8350
Asus sabertooth 990fx 2.0
Seasonic 1250XM PSU
Corsair Vengeance 1866 16GB kit (2 sticks)
Numerous SSD drives
Asus GTX 670
H80i cooler
Windows 7
Packed into a Fulmo GT case
