"WARNING: EES is turned off !!" Gigabyte MA790X-UD4

[Johnny B Jesus]

Gigabyte MA790X-UD4 and Athlon Phenom II, Windows XP Pro 64 bit.

I built the system last night, everything went well, no problems during
assembly, it booted right up and I installed the OS. This morning I
installed various software programs, went online, all was working well. It
wouldn't boot up again after I hit "restart".

I get this message:

"WARNING: EES is turned off !! Please use EES application to turn it on
again. Press any key to continue'"

Nothing happens when I press a key. I cleared CMOS, loaded fail-safe
defaults in BIOS, that didn't help. I took out the RAM and reinstalled it
as per Gigabyte tech support suggestion, it didn't help. The same error
message appeared without any drives attached, after I disconnected the hard
drive and dvd drive.
