You've got a battery that has died. Replace it. Ed Fair

edfair is probably correct as new mobos probably have been sitting around in the wharehouse for a while. But I would first test the battery if you have a tester, or take it to Radio Shack and have them test it. Also, before you do that use an eraser and clean the contact that holds the memory down in place. Joseph Logan
