Unboot problem
Symptom: After changing power mode from ATX to AT, my system is just not
working.
Solution:
Due to the fact that the 6300ESB design is for ATX. Therefore, when you
change your power mode from ATX to AT or from AT to ATX, please
make sure you clean your CMOS in order to make your system boot up
properly. To clean CMOS, please short 2-3 pins on JP4 for a moment, and
then change it back to its default setting.

Portwell as a RMA. Besides, you also visit RMA site
