i have a asus p4p800vm with an ami bios. was having some minor issues so i flash my bios to the next version up. i get two short beeps and then it says "cmos settings wrong. cmos date and time not set." every time i set the time and date, f10 and then i get the same results. the time and date in windows is wrong too. i reset the bios jumper to clear it out and still no joy. please help.
