Do I have another defective motherboard with the exact same problem? I am now on my second Gigabyte P55-ud3R that is exhibiting the exact same problem as the original one I RMAed. When I setup the system the board and the system start and post fine. If the system is turn off for a while (3+ hours, sometimes longer), the board seems to lose its cmos setting and refuses to post (no beeps). If I pull the battery for awhile the system will post with the default cmos setting and the bios will show a screen showing a list of fail startup attempts and ask if I want the most recent good set of setting.

This is the second mother board to do the exact same thing. I have swapped out the battery (twice), the power supply, the memory, the cpu all with no change in the problem. Once the system gets past post it works fine. If I turn it off for a short while it will boot up fine.

Do I have a second bad board with exactly the same problem? Am I missing anything before this one goes back.

Thanks
