Hello guys,

I have been building up a computer for me and I'm going thru a problem. When I boot the computer, the bios starts, I see the cpu speed and memory check and everything. It seems normal. But the screen after, there is the problemem. It was written : CMOS problem or w/e. So I checked the CMOS jumper and they werent in the good position. so I replaced them and I booted again. Now, I have an error saying that the CMOS battery low. I then get 2 options : F1 to run Setup or F2 to load defaults values and continue. I don,t know why but either if I press F1 or F2, nothing happens ... maybe its because of my wireless kb ... sorry I dont have a wired one to try out. There is also a number at the bottom right of the screen : 85. Thanks alot, again

edit: Now I get the error CMOS settings wrong.

what can I do ?!
 
Try replacing the CMOS battery. Is it a brand new mobo? What is the make and model?
 
Its a brand new mobo, but the guy who I bought it had it for a year or so. the mobo is a SuperMicro 370DLE dual socket, running with 1 proc p3 800.

The CMOS battery ... where is it. I see the round-shaped one, but I think its the mobo battery...


EDIT : Ok I found out that the CMOS batt it the round shaped. I tested it and it was ok ...
 
I looked through spec sheets on supermicro.com - couldn't find your exact model. but that round one you are looking at is likely the CMOS
 
Supermicro reports error 85 as this:

85 The memory size check is done. Displaying a soft error
and checking for a password or bypassing WINBIOS
Setup next.
 
btw, i just realized I couldn't enter the bios .... on the waiting screen where I see the memory & processor, I see the WAIT but even if I press del several times, nothing happens ....

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
