Motherboard fails to reboot.. works after CMOS clear.

I recently bought an ABIT KV8 PRO and installed the most basic of items
into it... Athlon 64 3000+, 550 W PSU, Geforce 3 ti200, Audigy
Soundcard, HDD.

Basically what happens is that when I shut down windows the computer
powers off. When I power it up again everything starts apart from the
screen and about 2 seconds later the computer powers off again. After
disconnecting the power and clearing the CMOS the computer will power up
and load windows again.

Its a bit of a pain because it forgets all my BIOS settings and I also
have to set the time everytime I start windows.

It doesn't always do it (maybe 90% of the time) but it does it everytime
I add or remove a piece of hardware to my system.

What should I do? I dont want to have to climb under the desk to clear
the cmos everytime I want to start the computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Trouble is then I need to boot into windows and shut the machine down
without being able to see what im doing... Guess I could give it a go
though.

WHY? so he can hear BEEEEP Beep beep? not going to boot without a
vidcard.

I guess I could bypass the beeping by telling it to halt on No Errors
but in the real world I really could do with using a video card with my
motherboard anyway :0)

Are you making this up as you go along? ABIT KV8 PRO, does it have
onboard video? go check the ABIT website for a specification. No onboard
video.

Besides all this why would I want to use onboard video anyway.

Thanks for the comments though....
