Ok, so my computer in my sig, well i formatted it, its been several months, so i format, and i get home, and the computer had apparently restarted like normal in between installation, but it was frozen at boot screen (aka where it says "ABIT Engineering, press DEL for setup"... needless to say i tried pressing everything before i just unplugged it to try to re-start. Well, now monitor was in power save, so i opened up the comp, reset the jumpers for the CMOS, and then put everything back in and started up! POOF! It worked! So here i am thinkin im good to go. WELL, now i have restarted twice after that, and BOTH times its gone to power save on monitor, i have to open up the comp to bios reset so that i can get into my comp! WTF! What can i do? I Dont wanna be opening my comp up EVERY TIME i restart!
 
1) Replace CMOS Battery.
2) Make sure you SAVE your Bios Settings
3) Take off ANY OC that you may have

Try that.
 
The last time I had this happen to me was with a KT7E board.. Turned out to be a dodgy PS.

1. Replace CMOS Battery... How do i do this? I see the battery, but wheres a good place to grab one?
2. Make sure to SAVE your Bios Settings. I didnt change any settings, i just reset it and let it fly... i didnt have any bios settings pre-set
3. I havent OC'ed

Polar: How do i check if my PSU is done? I mean i got a good PSU, the Fortron 400w...
 
Radioshack will have your batteries.....Try switching out your RAM sticks also. Its not your PSU if you reset the CMOS and it works....

WIthout swapping out the PS altogether, no way to really tell. Insufficient voltage on bootup alone would be enough to cause it.

I bought a power supply tester on Ebay for 10-15 bucks. Comes in handy.
