| 772737 | 2009-05-10 03:21:00 | Hi everyone, Just got my pc a few days ago, everything is fine except for the motherboard.... Its a Asus P5Q-Premium and every time I start the computer (from a full power off) it goes to this black and white screen with the american megatrends logo (www.ami.com) telling me that I have to set CMOS date and time or continue with default setup. I shined my torchlight inside to check the battery is there, and it is. What do I do? Pb Tech NS dont seem to want to help. My computer says it's 12:20 Am on the 1/1/2002. So please help me get back to the future. :help: X 100000000000000000000000000000000000 |

| 772738 | 2009-05-10 03:38:00 | Go into the BIOS, set the time and date in the BIOS and reconfigure the settings. Then save them, then reboot. Look in the manual under the BIOS options etc | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 772739 | 2009-05-10 05:26:00 | If what Speedy's said doesn't work. Battery could be flat. With some new motherboards a plastic tab is placed between the battery and its contact so its not drained prior to use. |

| 772740 | 2009-05-10 08:18:00 | Thanks guys, i tried what you said speedy gonazales, nothing happened, and Stormdragon I think my warranty is void if I open the case. And I had my pc built by PB tech, so wouldnt they remove all the battery seal and stuff? |
Sir Prospect (14735) | ||
| 772741 | 2009-05-10 08:33:00 | Yea PBTech would have removed any tab. If you've tried setting it in the BIOS and can't open the case, then I suggest you take it back to PBTech and explain to them the problem and let them solve it. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 772742 | 2009-05-10 10:59:00 | Interesting, I believe I read a thread here less than 5 mins ago where WainuiTech reported having to replace the same model of motherboard. It was in the thread where a fellow was looking to get into business with the hardware wholesalers. |

| 772744 | 2009-05-10 22:10:00 | Contact PB-tech. There is either a fault with the mboo or more likely the battery is flat when you bought it. | Blam (54) | ||
| 772745 | 2009-05-11 04:51:00 | Yeah I tried, but they dont seem to respond to my emails anymore. BTW, I originally asked for a P5Ql-Pro from them, but they told me that they will give me the P5Q premium at no extra cost. Being the cheap person I am, I checked out pricespy and realised that the price difference was about $230. This was my look: :eek:. So Do you think they knew about the problem? This was Pb Tech north shore btw. I thought Pb Tech had a good reputation? |
