I’m having an incredibly strange problem where the system time in the BIOS resets every time the power supply is unplugged. Only the time is reset, all other setting stick.
The problem started on a new Asus P5K-E MB. I replaced the battery and pulled the MB out of case — time still resets. I pull everything except video card, power supply, 1 stick of RAM and CPU — no change.
I RMA the board and replace it with a Gigabyte GA-EP35. SAME PROBLEM! Now I’m stumped. The common components I have plugged into the MBs are:
– 2GB of OCZ DDR2 XTC Rev .2 FAM
– Intel E8400 Core Duo Processor
– Enermax Modu 82 Power Supply
– Nvidia 8600 GT
– Antec 900 case.
Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?
