Losing the System's Setup Configuration
1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality
power supply may cause the system to lose its CMOS setup.
2. Determine if the Dallas Battery is bad. If it is bad, replace it with a good one.
(The following steps will help you determine if the RTC is bad: a. Turn on the
system and set the system clock. b. Let the system run for more than 6
hours. c. Check the system clock to see if it has accurate timing.
If the system timing is off, it is very possible that the RTC battery is bad.)
3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your
vendor for repair.
