Hi, all!
This might be off-topic, but since we are running FC on this machine, so maybe you can help.
I replaced a bad motherboard with a new one for one computer and the computer started to be working again. The only problem now is that I am not able to save the BIOS(Phoenix) setting on that computer, that is to say, the default setting will always come back automatically. This is not acceptable, for we need to boot the computer from network, but the default booting sequence prefers to boot from hard disk, on which we do have a bootable operating system.
The BIOS reset jumper is in its normal place, and I even changed the battery on the motherboard to see how it goes -- the problem remained.
Thanks in advance!

You do not state what motherboard you are using. Some motherboards have jumpers to write protect the bios. Others have a similar setting in the bios itself.
Check that and see if you can find anything that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance!
