960GC GS-FX clearing CMOS takes 8-12 hours

   Couple of things - if RAM is DDR3 1866 it should be from mobo's QVL (FX4320 supports it); if RAM is DDR3 it should be put in DDR3_A1 slot (second from left to right).

With all of the above in mind - put your old parts in, flash to BIOS 1.70 (again); clear CMOS with jumper (pull the power cord first); boot with old parts; put new CPU (re-paste the cooler) & RAM and clear CMOS again.

Tell us what happens then.

	I have a 960GC GS-FX for which the warranty cover expired in March 2017. However just before the expiry of the warranty Asrock has replaced the board with an identical new board in RMA. I run Athlon X2 5200+ and DDR2 800MHz 4GB on the mobo. Recently I have purchased a AMD FX4320 and DDR3 4GB RAM 1066Mhz to upgrade my PC. However I find that the motherboard fails to boot after I replace the processor and the RAM modules with the new ones. It takes overnight (12hrs) to clear CMOS . I have to leave the mobo bare without processor and RAM modules attached and CMOS battery taken out and jumper placed in clear CMOS position overnight (8-12hrs). When I attached the newly purchased processor and RAM modules next day it boots without any hassel. I have experienced this in other AMD or Intel motherboards when they grow old but couldn't find any explanation why this happens let alone solve it. Please suggest a remedy to this.
