    I am unable to continue after a SAVE & EXIT from the Award - Phoenix CMOS Setup Utility.

    When doing a SAVE & EXIT or F10
    dialog asks Y/N ?
    After doing a Y & ENTER the screen just hangs.

    ECS 865G-M mobo v2.3 (478)
    Celeron D 345 (3.06)
    2GB DDR
    new BIOS chip with v1.1c
    good battery
    all jumpers correct
    Tried flashing to different BIOS version
    Tried several new keyboards, PS/2 & USB.

    strange, how about leaving only the basic components in e.g. RAM, video and disconnecting the HDD etc to see if if it hangs or not...

    The board is on a test bench
    minimal hardware
    good battery
    good flash
    both jumpers correct
    clock 133x23 (~3.06)

    The boot stops with this warning message:
    Warning! CPU has been changed
    Please re-enter CPU settings...........

    I use delete to enter CMOS Setup Utility
    select optimized defaults
    accept the Yes and enter
    select SAVE & EXIT or F10
    accept the Yes and enter

    then system hangs

    Ctrl-Alt-Del

    reboot does the same thing
