Replaced power supply, still same issue - shut down, replaced power supply, started back up, and had to reset values, shut down again and unplugged, and had to reset values on restart still.
I checked the voltages for my RAM just for giggles, (1.5v) and found that Windows only recognizes me as having 8GB not 16....Tested with both sticks individually and each ran fine but no BIOS settings saved. Ubuntu recognizes the full 16. Googled a little and found that Windows does not recognize more than 8 sometimes...? Decided to put this here in case it helps. Not sure if related or even important.
Yes, the battery is a CR2032, I brought the battery with me to compare at the stores to make sure I got the right type. Both were Energizer types. All batteries (including the old one) ran fine in the watch.
I bought this Motherboard as a replacement about 2 months ago, still have 90 day warranty on it, should I just return?
