Hello. I haven't made any changes to my homebuilt recently, but this weekend my computer beeped in POST and then had an error message saying I needed to hit F1 and go into BIOS settings.
I immediately saw that it thought it was January 1, 2009 and that my overclocking settings were gone.
I tried correcting the date/time, settings,and my computer ran normally.
i tried starting it again today, and the same problem occurred. BIOS settings are gone and it's 2009.
I tried calling Asus and "Fred" told me to reset the CMOS, which makes no sense to me. I lost all my settings, so why would resetting them again help?
I tried sending Asus tech support email, but after filling out the long form, nothing happens when I pressed send.
So, does this sound like the CMOS battery needs to be replaced?
