    soo I just bought a new biostar A785G3 and for some reason it hangs on a black screen whenever it reboots. Like when I tried to install windows and it reboots the computer it just hangs at a black screen. Like bios doesnt even pop up. Also the date and time are reset and all of my settings. Ive changed the battery with a new one i found around the house. bios still says its low. ive tried updating the bios but with no luck. Has anyone ever run into a problem like this? any way to fix this with out getting a whole new board?

    itmortiz beat me to the punch. buy a new battery. :)
    They are cheap and easy to fit.
    Whether this is the solution, or not, it can't hurt and will remove one possibility at least. ;)
