Ok I'll try to explain this in english, and any help would be very much appreciated
Yesterday, I had like 2 short powerbreaks to the house, Like just when the ligts and tv and all flashes, goes off and comes on in like a milli sec. I had 2 of those within one second.
So my workstation rebooted itself.
When it came back, "Cmos Settings wrong"
And the old man that I am was going, whohoo I've heard of that. So I go looking through my manual and find the CMOS switch, and I reset the switch.
and yet again, "Cmos Settings wrong".
ok So then I went into the Bios, "Loaded Default Settings" and rebooted it.
Since then I havent gotten into the bios anymore
So I read on your forums that when you get the CMOS settings wrong and the reset doesnt work all you need to do is replace a battery.
Think this is the case here ?
Or sorry, motherboard is fried, get a new one ?
or all hope is lost ? New computer yes please.
Motherboard: 865PE Neo2-p
Bios: sorry don't know, the same one wich came with the board.

"Since then I havent gotten into the bios anymore". You can't? And the board is no longer booting? No picture at all when resetting the system?

well, now I get the graphics when booting(had disabled that, but when I loaded the default settings, the picture came back, so I can't see the "press del to enter bios setup" or detecting of hardrives.
"Corecell-extreme chip you've ever needed" the nifty image says (if it's so extreme, please boot properly!)
But yes, when i try to hit "del" to enter bios setup, it just beeps and continues, then it beeps twice, giving me the cmos error message.
(edit:) I also end up with the menu:
F11: Bootmenu F12: Network Boot F10: Flash recovery
Press F1 to Resume
Press F2 to load default values and continue
(Tried all options without any success)
