Everytime I turned off the PC and turn it on again, I always get a "9F" post code. I do not know what that means though.

It is easily fixed with a "clear cmos" but it's annoying having to configure the bios it all the time though.

This problems happens even when running at stock speed.

here are the specs:

av8 rev 1.1 bios 16
2x Hynix D43 256mb (running in dual-channel mode)
AMD64 3000+
2x Seadata 80Gb SATA drives (running on a RAID0 setup) (boot drive)
1x WD 250Gb
Radeon 9800SE
1x Pioneer DVD burner
1x Liteon DVD-ROM
Tagan PSU 480W (max 28A on the +12V line)

Thanks for the replies. :)

Here are some post codes that I found I'm just not too sure if they are for the award bios,http://sunsolve.sun.com/data/817/817-5248/html/appb.html
here is another link

While searching I found quite a bit of posts about this problem and I found another you have posted in a differet forum, and some of the solutions were updating the bios, putting a back plate behind the cpu, and also the 12v cable was uplugged.

yeah my first thing would be to return system to stock speeds and flash bios and go from there.. eliminating one by one.. be sure to post your results if you cure the issue..
