Try replacing the motherboard battery, it looks like a oversized watch battery and is avalible at radio shack for around 3 bucks or so.
If this battery is weak you will notice the time is not correct and this is a good indication it needs changed. On the first boot after you put the battery in it you will experiance the same thing but after that it should be good to go. If this does not fix the problem then its something bigger.
Please describe this "screen has to get brighter issue"

Please post your system specs or brand and model
This is a strange problem that is sometimes linked to a bad motherboard but try this.
unplug the computer
remove the battery
move the clear cmos jumper to pins 2&3, your manual will explain and show its location
push the power button in and hold for 30 seconds
leave the computer like this for 15 minutes.
reinstall the battery, move the clear cmos jumper back to pins 1&2, plug it in and see if that helps.
you may also want to try a bios update

This is what happened my ram voltage was too low so now it's at 2.0 volts so all good. If anyone needs help contact Abit. I would like thank Doby for helping with my situation. Thanks Everybody!

Troy you misunderstood, frank sent me a pm that he heard back from Abit and they suggested to raise the ram voltage witch he did and all was good, I then suggested that he note that in his thread
