I have just built a new PC with an Asus motherboard and AMD CPU.
Uptil now I have used MSI boards, but had a few failures so I thought i'd try Asus.
However when I boot up the American Megatrends Bios says that My Cmos Date and Time are not set.
When I do this and press F10 to save its all OK
Till I turn off the machine and turn it on again.
The same message comes up.

Surely the battery should be charged up by now !

Any suggestions ?

Amazing bad luck that......

Does it read over 3 volts?
or under?
(they aren't rechargeable)

Maybe you just got a dud battery, check the voltage like KarameaDave said
