    Computer powers on but does not boot.
    « on: May 14, 2008, 12:30:52 PM »
    I removed my CMOS battery to let the CMOS reset. When I put it back in, the computer will not boot up. The monitor stays black and my mobo displays a C1 and is constantly beeping.

          I know this is waaaaaaaaay later, but the mobo was no good anymore. I had to RMA and get a replacement.
