This motherboard has had Alzheimer's since I had it. I set the video
to
onboard and enable the harddrive (2) S.M.A.R.T. It remembers maybe
for one day but if the computer is off for a week it forgets and the
video reverts back to PCI and the S.M.A.R.T disabled. The battery is
good with a strong 3 volts. I tried clearing the cmos and
reconfiguring but it still forgets. So what's the advice, stay away
from AS ROCK?

Some of the ASR mother boards were shipped with the battery
disconnected !


With the jumper? or some other way?

Usually with the jumper in the wrong setting. But do check the
soldering around the jumper pins. I've had a few where moving the
jumper to the correct pair resulted in an intermittent battery
connection. (No voltage reading in the BIOS) Resoldering the pins
cured that.
