he said it was working before,so i suspect is the bios problem I had a problem with my dad's computer i set the time latter it changes ,battery was good,so i update the CMOS (BIOS) by flashing it and worked ok after that

I jumpered the pins and reset bios , still does it. The only way I can get the pc started is to remove the battery and clear bios memory then power on... I have two videos to demonstrate the basics.

Here im explaining what has been setup and tested so far.

did you try to flash the BIOS with a new update,it could be that the bios info is messed up

If having the jumper across the chassis intrusion pins (check continuity of jumper, it could be something as simple as the jumper not shorting the pins out) doesn't solve it (after clearing the RTC RAM) there is something screwed up in the BIOS and it needs re-flashing, which is easy with Asus mobos.

I trust you are clearing the RTC RAM correctly?

1. Turn off and unplug
2. Move jumper from 1 & 2 to 2 & 3
3. Wait 5 to 10 seconds
4. Move jumper back to 1 & 2
5. Plug in and turn on

I just read that they advise removal of the battery to clear the CMOS RTC RAM, which surprised me that they didn't fit a jumper for that but they must have their reasons I guess.

Yup I checked continuity , if I move the clear cmos pin and then put it back the error remains but it I do it and also pull the battery then it will boot up and ask if I want to use default settings , I choose that and computer turns on. However once it is turned off or restarted it does it agian. Ive never flashed bios before. Do I just download it to a thumbdrive and use the ezflash option at boot?

There are 2 ways on Asus boards.

EZ Flash 2, which is put the bios on USB and boot (see Asus' guide, it's more comprehensive than mine)

or

Windows, ASUS Update (start, programs, asus, asus update, asus update) Select from drop down list whichever you want (I had problems with some options with not being able to connect so try them all if you have problems). Click next Follow the on screen instructions

Thats what i said i think it needs flashing ,hope that fixes it

havent yet done it on ASUS board, But i always check all my motherboards to see if my CMOS needs a new update

Update adds a lot of extra features to the motherboard

I have not flashed the bios but the computer is working fine as long as i dont completely shut it down, im running a 24 hour test for the 3 light schedule, I tested it just a few minutes apart and everything worked flawlessly! YAY I could not get Ez cloud to connect so im pasting the example code here.

waituntiltime(08,00)
set(D1,on)
waituntiltime(10,00)
set(D2,on)
waituntiltime(18,00)
set(D2,off)
waituntiltime(20,00)
set(D1,off)
waituntiltime(20,00)
set(D3,on)
waituntiltime(08,00)
set(D3,off)
