hello Reaper-X
I updated the bios to ID 17 from the abit site and it has solved my problem; no more blank screens,
after exiting the bios or on cold boots.
Everything seems normal except for a very slight performance drop.
It's only day one though.
I thank you for your time and help and I hope you have some luck too and solve your problem.
cheers
Joe

aah i believe you'll need to update your bios first as for ID15, i think it'd be better for you to update into the latest bios (as long as it's not in beta stage) :)

Hi Reaper.
I got the cmos checksum error message once after several attempts at cold booting. Most of the time I got a blank screen and the bios post error display read C1.

Going into the bios and changing minor settings made the problem worse and to get a boot I had to default to the bios safe settings.

I also noticed that some of my changes in the bios were not even retained; this is after saving them on exit.

I suspected a faulty battery, but then the bios time would also be lost.

I am going to update the bios to ID 17 as the bios I am running at the moment is ID13 and Asus recommends ID15.

Hopefully this will make a difference; I will let you know.

Cheers Joe

Hello Joe :)

Btw did you get the same CMOS Checksum error message ? or you get a blank screen ?

I built a computer for my friend with the same motherboard that you have (An932x V1), the same brand of Ram, a 5600 CPU and I am experiencing the same problems as you have. I am wondering if you have found a solution to your problem through Abit or other means?
thanking you for your time
Joe

Yes, actually this is the first time im using Abit mobo (previously im using Albatron, Epox, etc but never tried Abit until now) and never experience any problem like this

as an addition, i've tried changing the CMOS battery for about two times from a working motherboard (which is using the same CMOS battery type / CR2302 battery) .. but still the same problem occur to me everytime im doing cold boot

Now the only solution left for me is just RMA / replace this mobo to the store where i bought it

Thank you very much for your attention Willian :)

Hi there.

I really feel sorry about your Abit mobo.

I am a Abit customer. I really enjoy Abit, because Abit always handled well with overclocks and always made mobo which have anything i needed (i had a Abit KT7A-RAID, Abit AN7 and now an Abit AN9 32x).

I also had some problems with my new Abit (for sure, the first real problem i really had). It was about a shutdown problem (the mobo didn't wake up properly sometimes. Not all lights turn on). I flashed my BIOS to 1.5 version and everything just worked properly.

I really wish your mobo just work without any problems. I would recommend Abit RMA if you still get problems.

Até mais! \o/
