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
