On my HTPC where i store all my music and movies ive been having a strange problem.
just recently I restarted the computer and it just didnt load.
I tried restarting it a few times, let it go for a few minutes, nothing was working.
pulled the cmos battery and fired it back up, worked like normal.
ran a few programs to test cmos/motherboard tests with pc doctor and a few spyware programs just to see if it was anything simple.
Turned the computer off went to fire it back up, same. wont load bios...
Pulled the cmos again worked fine and passed the tests.
took a bat. out of another computer I have that works and still same problem.
what could cause this problem out of nowhere?
its a compaq. amd 3200+. x1300pro ATI. 3 WD hdd's.
never had a problem with it until recent.
