So when I got this motherboard I installed it and all and after plugging everything in that was suppose to be plugged in it worked. But ever since I got it it hasn't been able to keep time (keeps falling behind). Yesterday it was acting very strange and literally going back (I looked at it and it said like 12:40 then looked again about an hour later and it said 12:13) and when I looked it up this is also a sign of a bad/dead CMOS battery. Been planning to get a new one but haven't gotten around to it since it's only been 5 days since I built it.
Today when I tried to turn it on it did nothing. I double checked everything and removed the RAM etc. Then I went to the internet and went to the about website on a phone. Don't try it. It is complete garbage and didn't help me at all as it would relink you back to the same 2 pages etc and then I managed to get here and found someone saying "Try removing the CMOS battery" and I was like "Duh good idea."
Anyways after removing the CMOS battery and putting it back in it started. Should I be worried about this or is it just the CMOS battery? Other than the time think I haven't had any problems until today.
Specs:
MSI Z97 PC MATE (MS-7850)
i5 4690k
Stock cooler (waiting for thermal paste to replace)
GTX 750 Ti
EVGA 500w 80+ (just 80+ not bronze)
