Recently I bought a system from my local vendor comprising of
Processor: AMD A6 3500 APU (2.1 GHz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2(rev. 1.1)
RAM: G-skill Ripjaws 4 GB (1600 MHz)
SMPS: Corsair VS450
HDD: WD 500 Sata
after assembling, when it was switched on for the 1st time there was no response (display). Only cabinet and processor fans were running. Then 2nd time it showed error
______________________________________________________________________________
CMOS checksum error – Defaults loaded
Post error occurs!
Profile 1) Default
Success boot record : last known good
Del : setup : choices
F1: continue to boot
Enter : select profile
System continue in .10 sec ..
________________________________________________________________________________
.Then after series of checking and cross checking by the assembler it was concluded that either processor or the motherboard was faulty. (The CMOS battery was checked too)
Next day both the items were tested at distributor place where interestingly both came out as good having no problem (as informed by the assembler....I am not sure though whether both the items were tested together or separately). However, on my vendor/assembler request only the motherboard was replaced by a new one.
And then again the same problem appeared. However, this time the OS was installed (Win 7 Ultimate). Now the system boots after showing the same error each time (whenever the system is started after a short period but boots/(restarts) normally if power is kept on). Motherboard drivers were automatically updated on-line but the problem still persists. I have not checked by replacing the battery but its a new board and same was done on the earlier board. It appears that saving CMOS values is not working and it resets each time.
I think the problem is either a compatibility or BIOS issue (also, the OS takes long time to load, is it normal for the configuration? Windows rating is 4.8. Lowest sub score is graphics)
Please help anyone.
