everynow and again when i reboot i get this error on bootup

bad cmos check sum resetting bios press F1 to continue or press Del to enter setup.

possibly battery issue

you mentioned you were trying different bios' to get a better overclock. is the bios you're currently using a beta bios?

allready thought of the bios. it was doin this before i flashed the bios and after is the problem.
battery is what im gonna try today. i read online that asus has been shipping boards with dead batteries

and nope the bios isnt beta. atleast it dont say

Yeah, first guess would either be battery, or (been there, done this.... ), double check that your cmos reset jumper is in the correct position. I forgot to move mine back to the default position once and had similar issues.

well i think u were rite.
there was no jumper at all on the default bios setting.
i put on a jumper. and rebooted about 10 times. didnt do it yet. LOL
thanks again sswilson. 2for 2 now i beleve u are. lol

So is this still working for you? Good info to keep in the back of my mind if it is....

yes still working. haven't seen the error since
see im use to the older computers. when u put a jumper on the bios reset the computer dont turn on. with the newer computer they still turn on with the bios reset button
