I have a strange problem my PC seems to be losing the flash on the CMOS. The PC is a P4 2.8 ghz with a Asus p4p800s Motherboard, 1024 megs of ram, 40 gig HD, Sound Blaster Live 5.1, a 330 watt Antec true power power supply. and a ATI radeon 9800 pro. What will happen is that the PC will crash, sometimes blue screening other times freezing up. Then when I try to reboot the ASUS bios crash recovery will come up and tell me that the bios has crashed and to insert my Motherboard CD to recover. Which I do then restart the PC as told, then when it boots it goes right back to wanting the CD again. It will do this anything from once to several times before the system will boot into my OS again. I thought it was video card and swapped out the power hungry 9800 for a old agp card I had laying around and the results are the same. I have also reflashed the bios with a floppy and newest version and it doesn't seem to help. Anyone have any suggestions, or is my board toast like I think it is?
