Title: problem in desktop power up every morning
Post by: kufang on August 13, 2012, 08:35:55 PM: Hello:

can every body help me on my computer(desktop)
I have problem every time i power up my computer
I always reset bios by transferring jumper & removing batteries & sometimes
cleaning of memory by using eraser. I do this every day. What could be my problem? is it my memory,
my battery, or my PSU?

So that's what been wrong all these years! A weak cell has strapled my stings.

Please be specific.

It's not a question of being "specific". You keep posting gibberish. You need to READ your posts. For example the text I quoted above makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. It is time you stopped doing it.

Post by: Geek-9pm on August 14, 2012, 02:54:11 PM: OK.
Back top topic.
The OP should consider getting a new PSU. It does not have to be better unless the OP has added more memory and graphics.

Sometimes PSUs will have the behavior the OP describes in his first post. It will cause the system to reset or even shut down until a number of retires.

But a new CMOS cell is the first thing to try.
