Hello all. I am doing a brand new build using an X58A-UD3R motherboard from GIGABYTE. The build went pretty smoothly, and I was able to POST and look through the BIOS with no difficulty. I had to stop work for a few days at that point because of other business, and when I came back, I continued on with successfully installing Windows 7 and going about with all the things you do with a fresh Windows install. I had to put it aside for another half a day at this point.
And here is where the trouble begins.
I came back and tried to power on my tower and the clr CMOS button/light on the back of the motherboard just started blinking every 1.5 seconds. I've done some google searches and read through the manual and looked around GIGABYTE's website, and no one seems to know exactly what this is a symptom of. Furthermore, how could the tower go from booting into Windows 7 to completely not powering on in the span of 6 hours when I didn't do anything to it?
At this point I'm pretty lost. If anyone knows what the blinking clr CMOS button means, or has any other suggestions, I would great appreciate them.
