hello !
I built a PC for one of my friends.
(A64 3500+ on MSI K8Tneo2-fir s939, 2x512 PC3200 dual chan)
It worked perfectly (I tested it for 1 month) till my friend being in a kind of hurry (!) shut it down and didn't wait (!!) and switched off the "multiple power sockets rack"...
since then, at start up, sometimes the pc freezes at random stages (but when it successes to start win2K, it gets perfectly stable again)
sometimes he gets the error message:
CMOS corrupted, press F1 to edit, F2 to restore defaults.
I think a physical "clear CMOS" would do, but since I have to drive quite a bit to go to my friend's, and he's not able to do that alone, I want to be sure before...
thanks a lot !
