I had posted earlier that random chassis intrusion halts during boot prompted me to change the CMOS battery. A mysterious failure to start, solved by the passage of time, occurred before I got the battery out. That mystery remains. The battery has been replaced. I am hoping for no more intrusion halts.
Galen suggested measuring the current through the intrusion jumper might help illuminate the random halts. I have measured that current as best I could. It appears to be about 0.1uA, the least count of my Fluke 87. I calculate that the CR2032 should last 250 years at this current, so I do not know why it is set so low. 10 uA would be too high, yielding only 2.5 years battery life. Thursday night I was asked what my system was. The MB is an ASUS M3N78-VM put into service June 2009. The CPU is an Athalon X2 4850e 2.5 Ghz. I have 2G RAM and a SATA 500G HD. Is this as outdated as some of Thursday night quizzers thought it might be? -Denis _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
