Hi everyone! Long time, no see. I'm back after a long absence with a scenario that's driving me nuts.
The specs: new barebones SFF from newegg, Sempron 1900 chip, 512MB DDR (one stick), Maxtor 120GB ATA HDD, WinXP w/SP2. All components are new
The problem: The system will not boot -- or reboot -- unless the CMOS is cleared each time.
This is the 2nd system I got with this scenario. I went nuts with the first one. Finally I decided it had to be a bad bios chip and returned the unit to newegg. This is the replacement system and it's "deja vu all over again."
