Question about Foxconn NF4UK8AA-8EKRS Motherboard
The computer will have to be restarted after most OS updates, etc. and has worked normally until recently. Now when windows shuts down, some 10 or 15 seconds later the computer begins to start. I shut off the logo to view the screen. The initial black screen with Phoenix BIOS appears with the task bar at the bottom "Del to enter set-up", etc. However the screen is frozen, no memory check etc. Esc, Del, F10, three key boot, nothing will move into POST. It is necessary to shut off power, turn back on again, then press the start button on the computer. POST checks the memory and starts the OS too fast to read the progress. The mother board functioned flawlessly for 18 months. It freezes on hot re-start only. Any help available. Note, all BIOS settings are original except I turned off the WinFast logo to see the screen on start up.
The system in the bios must be set to halt on all errors. Go into the bios (F2 or Del) on start up and in the standard bios settings, there should be 'halt on all errors enabled. Set this at off or dissabled. Next time you boot the pc it will not stop if there is an error and should show you the problem cause in the boot up sequence. If all else fails follow the previous solution post to clear cmos, to do this locate the 'JBAT1' terminal and put jumper cap from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 for a few seconds, then back to 1-2. Start pc reset time and date and if unsure highlight default settings menu enter, save settings then exit and hopefully it will boot into windows.

Simple. clear the CMOS by using clear cmos jumper setting or remove the cmos battery and put it again and then change the bios settings as per ur machine configuration.

Thank you for the possible solutions. Unfortunately I had an operation on my hand and will not attempt the fix for another week or two. It's hard to work on the computer with one hand wrapped up like a baseball glove.
I'll let you know if the fixes work, asap.
The problem was solved by magic. Tried the above suggestions but the POST freeze on a OS shutdown/restart remained. I cleaned up the inside, vacuum/blow out dust, and wired in a case fan never originally connected 18 months ago. It works without a hitch now. Thank you for suggestions.
