PCChips M916 CMOS Problems


I just finished building a new computer with the following specs:

PCChips M916 Motherboard
Pentium 4 2.26ghz Processor
512MB PC3200 Ram
Radeon 9600 Graphics Card
10GB Maxtor Harddrive (Old, getting a new one soon)

Now, I set it up and put it all together fine. When I go to power it on, it tells me my CMOS settings are incorrect, and sends me to the setup utility. At first I tried default values, which apparently did not work. I tried to boot with the default settings, and it didnt work - no picture on the monitor, keyboard doesn't light up, no motherboard posting, etc. So I clear the CMOS via the jumper, and try again. It brings me back to the CMOS setup, and I try some different settings. So far, no matter what I try, it will not work. Given my current system specifications, is there anything special I need to do to get the CMOS settings right? So far I can't really find anything I need to change other than changing the date and time.

Thanks for any help.
