    Re: Cmos reset works for 7-10 days only

    What situations, PCH does change the BIOS content in?

    (I do not know myself. I should have more study on this field.)

    one of these situations might happened to this laptop. for example, PCH may think the active BIOS content is damaged, so it recovers BIOS from some backup.

    As another probability, it is also possible that a program (installed in Windows) manipulates the Bios content automatically in constant periods.

      i agree with caspian,maybe a program?a cracked program?other thing i noticed
      many units put in hibernation many times and for long period of time finish with a corrupted bios(especially recent hp pavillon) .mcplslg123 did you try to make a normal bios update?

        Thanks to all of you. Bachir2004, i took care to install only windows 10 on it with no drivers, softwares installed and asked the customer to try it for a month. If everything goes fine, we can always load the other software. So the problem happened with no drivers, no addon software installed-only virgin window10(original).

        I fully agree, with piernov that it has something to do with pch and i expressed that doubt in the beginning of my post. Simply put, these new gen mb's have made life difficult for repairs as most of them have problems related to inbuilt cpu+pch .

          what are the problems of inbuilt cpu+pch?

          is there any documentation that explains the situations in which PCH changes BIOS content?

            Remember, PCH has RTC section and in this particular mb, cmos related issue. So might be pch has some issues in rtc section. No body can say with 100% surety in such situations that what's wrong.

                  its inbuilt pch(not cpu) which has gone bad-Thats my experience yesterday only with A992p mb. Same symptoms.

                    TPS 51125 only works after cmos Reset. HP 820 g1
                    by IamPritesh
                    Laptop will only start after cmos reset. TPS51125 does not generate 3/5 volt once you shutdown the system and try to turn it on again. Any pointers will be appreciated,

                    ASUS M5A78L-M LX - PWR button works sometimes, CPU stuck in reset
                    by kotel studios
                    Hi,
                    Firstly I'd like to apologize if this was posted in the wrong forum (I'm new here )
                    Recently I got an ASUS M5A78L-M LX board in a scrap lot. Saw one broken cap which I've replaced. No broken traces and missing components. While soldering a new cap a bit of solder got onto components bellow SB (opposite of the two lythic caps). Didn't see it and powered the board on.
                    I was greeted with it not starting. Came back to it a day later and shorted the PS_ON with GND to force it on. It sprung to life but with CPU stuck in reset (it was an FX 4600 I believe). Thats when I saw the...

                    Gigabyte G5 KE Clearing CMOS won't reset BIOS Admin password
                    by GIGA10
                    Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this post belongs in this section? If not, please kindly move it to right section Mod/Admin.

                    I have a Gigabyte G5 KE laptop and I have forgotten the BIOS Admin password. I can enter BIOS menu but when trying to enter BIOS settings it ask for my password which I have forgotten. I can boot also in to Windows 11. I have tried to clearing CMOS by removing the CMOS battery for 10h. I have tried also to remove both power battery and CMOS battery and bridge the CMOS 2 pin connector on the motherboard. Then when booting I get a message that NVRAM has been...

                    Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 not powering up
                    by rutgerv
                    Dear all,

                    For a friend I'm trying to repair an Acer Swift 3 laptop (SF314-42). I'm not a professional, but have some experience (both as amateur and professional) in working with electronic design and repair of musical instruments.

                    The issue with the Acer laptop is the following:
                    It was bought new and used (not heavily) at home for about three years. After normal use, it was put to sleep, connected to charger and left over night (just like any other day). The next morning, the laptop would not wake up from sleep. Instead, when pressing the power button, the power...
