I thought you may have had a jumper fixed in the clear position. You are saving the changes upon exit aren't you?

Hi Othehill. This motherboard does not have normal jumpers. There is two solder points on the board. To clear CMOS you short the solder point with screwdriver. Yes I am saving the bios setting changes upon exit.

Is this a new problem with an existing system or a newly assembled unit?

Its a problem with newly assemled system.

Try removing the MB from the case, setting on cardboard and running like that. You may have a short to case.

What is it about Asus motherboards and their lack of a 'clear cmos' jumper? Does it revert back to the same date each time--probably several year in the past? That would be consistent with a bad battery. If you're sure the battery is good (you may want to check with a DC voltmeter) then perhaps the battery holder clip is loose or it has a bad solder joint.

Is this an AT case/PSU? If not, then the battery shouldn't be an issue unlessyou unplug the computer.

Thanks Guys For your help!!! Othehill as you said in your response 11, I took the whole system apart and assembled it out side the case and it did the trick. There was one extra mounting post for motherboard which was causing the problem (short)
