HI!
This board had experienced an oc not post, which normaly you would just reset cmos and re boot. Well, no reboot. I bought a new board and left it sit for a few month. One day I went to mess with it and it posted. WOHOO, I thought. I could re boot it a few times, then it would stop posting. I could take the battery out, let it sit for a few days, maybe have to short the pwr pins for a few seconds, and it would post again. It had gotten worse, now I cant get it to post at all. Its like the bios will not clear when you short the jumpers. The power light on the board lights up, I can get the ps to kick on by flipping the board over and shorting the pins for the ps, and I am getting +3v across the pwr pins. Shouldn't I be getting +5v across the pins? How can you check to see if the cmos chip is bad without swaping chips? I can trace the voltage a few steps past the pwr pins, but then I loose the path. Is there a pin out listing for cmos sockets some where? Also, which part of the vrm would I check to see it it is getting voltage. Any help PLZZZZZ! I've lost my mind!
p.s. I've already done the replace the battery, check with multiple good components, etc.
