guys, i'm an MSI 785GM-E65 user too. i usually clean my rig every 6 months wherein i remove all components but there was this first incident that i had difficulty making it POST after i reconnected everything... reseated all components twice and after a few tries of powering it up, it finally POSTed and booted up to windows.... not a good sign though since i had previous systems before that i didn't have any trouble.

and just now, i can't seem to make it boot to windows. it's POSTing but i get CMOS checksum errror. i powered this down for about 5 days since i went home to the countryside for a vacation... i highly suspect that it's a bad CMOS battery but isn't it just too early? i had this board for less than a year and i always have it plugged in to the outlet even if it is not in used except just recently when i went for a vacation.

i'll be replacing the CMOS battery today and hopefully that will fix it.... but for now, i think i am feeling disappointed with my mobo... :(

any thoughts and first hand experiences about this mobo you folks can share out there? :rockout:
