Hello. I am having issues with Intel Desktop Board DB65AL.
The issues are as follows:
- Delayed boot. Whenever I power/restart the PC, it takes a while (nearly 10 seconds) for the actual boot to start, the monitor's LED simply blinks indicating that it's not receiving anything, fans are spinning inside the case.
- Lack of internet connection upon first boot. Restarting the PC resolves this.
This started when my GPU (AMD Radeon HD 6870) started dying. I have tried another GPU (AMD Radeon R9 270) but PC wouldn't boot with it. I tried re-adding the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS settings, but that didn't help. Right now I'm using the integrated GPU of Intel i5-2500. So, later on when I booted the PC, I was greeted with CMOS battery failure warning. So I tried to re-seat it and the battery itself worked fine but then new issues arose: delayed boot and lack of internet on first power on. The battery is somewhat loose in its holder, compared to how it should be according the 360 degree view found on Intel site, however I have tried to make it "sit right", but that didn't help.
There's also the issue that without the battery or with battery not being in absolutely perfect position (still working, but I guess the mobo wants it sit perfectly), PC tends to shut down and restart itself sometimes multiple times when trying to restart the PC, which leads to lack of internet connection as it counts as power off - power on rather than a restart without powering the PC off.
Anything I could do?
