First I'll post some specs.
Asus M4A79 Deluxe MoBo (with lates BIOS from asus.com)
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3.0GHz cpu
4GB RAM (one stick)
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670
I am posting this from the PC in question. Was bored a couple days ago and was messing with some clock settings in the BIOS, upping one thing at a time in small increments, when I hit a setting that was unstable I would reset PC, and it would set it back to default clock settings. Well after a couple of failed attempts I just decided to give it a rest, set everything to the last config I had that worked. Once I did I hit save and exit, pc shut down, came back on, fans spun, dvd and hdd drives both powered up, but never sent a signal to the monitor, never when into BIOS Post. Pulled the side of my case off, shut down PC and switched the CMOS clear jumper, turned it back on and it booted up. Obviously it gave me the option to load default settings with F2 or go into BIOS settings with F1. I hit F1 and put the settings back to how they were once again (keep in mind the settings were what I've been using for the past 2 years). Hit save and exit, and the same thing, powered off, fans came on, but no Post. Cleared the CMOS with jumper yet again, powered up. Decided to hit F1 again and just load the BIOS default settings, hit save and exit. Yet again, fans on, no Post. Cleared CMOS, hit F2 and windows booted up just fine. Searched around for a while, found that it could be a bad CMOS battery, bought a new one, same thing. Tested the new one, it tested fine. Searched for the latest BIOS update from ASUS, downloaded it and flashed it. Everything went well, but still the same problem. Got into BIOS and checked the BIOS version and it's the one I flashed to it. Thought it could be a glitch in the memory so I ran Memtest86 from http://www.memtest86.com for 6 hours while I watched the super bowl, (go green bay). Anyways, no errors everything went great.
I'm stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated.
