To get my PC to start, I have to reset the CMOS using the button on the motherboard. The board is an MSI K9N Diamond.
If I don't reset, when I power on, the monitor stays black (says "no signal" on monitor). I've tried resetting 3 times in a row and all the rest, and the only way to get the thing to start is to press the Reset CMOS button.
Before you all tell me to update/flash my BIOS, I can't. I'd dearly love to, but I don't have a floppy drive. I have a USB external one but I can't use it for flashing as it reads as a "USB Mass Storage Device" in the BIOS (it works fine in Windows) and can't be used as a boot device.
I recently installed two new hard drives and some more RAM, however it does not seem to be the drives causing the problem as I installed those first and it booted fine. I can't remember if it started immediately after installing new RAM or not.
