Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[Oliverda]

I am having a unique problem with my M3A79-T Deluxe....

If I shut my computer down completely, switch off the PSU, and then come back and turn it on, it will not post... so I push reset button on the motherboard and sometimes it will go ahead and post the first time and sometimes I have to reset 5 or 6 times to get it to post.

Today, I had to reset the BIOS with the CMOS pin just to get it to post.

Once it posts and loads windows, it runs great and I can do a "reboot" with no problems, but as soon as I shut it DOWN completely, I have to go through this ritual of "reset" over and over to get it to post.

Any ideas?

I think it's some sort of RAM problem. I had almost the same with my DFI LP UT 790FX and when I changed the modules it disappeared. Try to enable the MemClk Tristate C3/ALTVID option in BIOS.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions...

I did update the BIOS to the new 403 and it didn't help.

I swapped out RAM, still no help...

I may have to RMA it...
