Just replace your CMOS battery and everything would be OK. It is a CR-2032 Lithium cell that looks like a silver coin. Some Camera stores have them. They are cheap. Bought a pack containing 2 pcs. last week for about $0.75.

First attempt a BIOS improve to your motherboard. Then attempt removing something that's no longer serious as nicely. Unplug all tense drives, optical drives, develop playing cards (sound card, community card, video card in case you have onboard video available, controller card, etc) and attempt booting with default. substitute your settings one via one in CMOS and save rebooting. Then upload stuff returned in one via one till the errors happens, then you certainly would be attentive to what the perpetrator is. If it nonetheless happens with each little thing got rid of, attempt a distinctive power grant, if it nonetheless happens, then you certainly decide for a clean mobo.

I think your CMOS battery doesn't work anymore.
You should buy a new CMOS battery.
