bgets Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I built my machine in 2011. it works great with the exception of when I shut it down and then try to restart it, it will take several times of hitting the power button before it will boot. Power supply is new. Also if I do a shutdown and restart, my OC will go back to the lower setting of 3.4 Ghz. This has been going on for years now. Anyone have any suggestions? Bob G.

il88pp Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Replace the CMOS -battery on the mainboard. usually a cr2032 or cr2025 battery. Required for remembering CMOS/BIOS settings, and clock in BIOS. Guide, just in case: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph04375 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgets Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Replaced the battery and still have the same problem. Thanks for the reply however. Bob G.

il88pp Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Make sure the "Clear CMOS" jumper on the mainboard is not in the wrong position. http://www.computer-hardware-explained.com/reset-bios-password.html [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Did that fix it? Bios settings now staying stored? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgets Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 No. After 6 years I am used to just using the sleep mode and not shutting it down. Sometimes it will hold the bios settings and sometimes it won't. Same with having to use the start button several times before the machine will final boot. It will try to start and then shut down and final after several tries it will boot. Thanks for your interest. Bob G.

il88pp Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 May have found something. THe model you mentioned is not from ASUS. It's a gigabyte. Doesn't matter much. Anyway, with that mainboard you also got included a driver disk. On it was a utility called "Easytune". This sets up the overclock from within Windows. (I don't know the specifics). It may be that is that utility (or a similar one) you have no overclock set up. And that may cause the overclock to disappear after reboot prehaps?? If you have Easytune installed, look into how it works exactly. (I also see something called: Intel Extreme Tuning Utility - may be worth looking into as well.)

bgets Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well, that didn't go well. It wouldn't install and it took me a half hour to get my machine running again. I guess it doesn't work with Windows 10. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Intel i7 7700K 4.5 Ghz, GTX 1080 SC 1TB 7200RPM HDD, Samsung 500Gb SSHD, 750W PSU, P3DV4, Windows 10 64 bit Home Premium.REX,GEX,UTX.

il88pp Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 No, I meant the opposite. I thought you may have it installed, and that is what is causing the problem. If it is installed it controls the overclock settings. So it may even be able to reset those that are in BIOS. If it is installed, and set to default settings, then overclock in bios has no effect" or something. I had it on the disk that came with my mainboard. I remember not installing it. Not sure if it was that one or something similar, but there was something about a overclock-tuning program that could affect bios. (or make overclock in bios not work). I wish I remember more precisely. It was one of those "not for me, so don't install and forget right away" things... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgets Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Gotcha. Thanks again.

il88pp Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If it looses the settings only when you disconnect it from the wall. (or use black switch on back). And not when wall stays connected, it means the cmos batt is not able to hold the settings. Make sure the contacts in the battery holder are making a good contact. Clean them with contact cleaner. You may have to carefully bend the contact prongs. Also, make doubly sure you are using a good battery. Not the cheapo 10 pack kind, but a fresh one bought in a computer store. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/372369/losing-bios-settings/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgets Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 It happens sometimes when I do a restart or just shutdown the machine. It's a pain to replace the battery because I have to remove the CPU cooler and then add the paste etc. and install it again. I can live with it, no problem.
