I just got a K7S5A and when installing it into my new system I got an Cmos Batt Low..so i went to the local Comp shop and picked up a new battery. Came back poped the sucker in and i still get the same message. I think it has something to do more with than just a low batt..see the Mobo only stays on for a short while maybe 60 sec. then it timesout i guess...then i turn off the power supply wait a sec or two then hit power again and its not enough time for the system to do anything...Help..whats makeing the battery run out and so fast? why does the Mobo keep shutting down? can this be fix? or is this Mobo crap..THX

Welcome to the forums bbhmc.............

Do have your heatsink fan connected to the proper header?

I need to download your manual, BRB..............:winkgrin:

OK need to know which version you have 1.X or 3.X

 

[bbhmc]

The cd says version 1.0....where did u download the manual

 

[SPEEDO]

At their website! Here ya go Manual.

Most of these boards have a "disable BIOS" jumper on them that in effect turns off the battery to the BIOS chip. Check the manual and see if yours has one of those and if so, move it to the other pins to enable it.
