    [SOLVED] Can't locate the CMOS battery on my ASUS z690-G

    FWIW I did the same with my old computers for years and the battery didn't run out. This computer is only 2 months old. OFC it could be an empty/faulty battery from the start but not very likely. I've now written ASUS support. Let's see what they have to say about this.

    [SOLVED] Can't locate the CMOS battery on my ASUS z690-G

    I don't change anything after it goes to the BIOS when i hit the clear CMOS Button. Date / Time also match which is weird. So the battery doesn't seem to be issue from my very basic understanding of bios and hardware in general. Yep it is at 4800 when it resets. Exactly, if I keep it plugged...

    [SOLVED] Can't locate the CMOS battery on my ASUS z690-G

    I'll try that out. Additionally, I updated BIOS to the latest version. Although amorury crate told me it was already up to date there was a newer driver available on the Asus website. No bluescreens so far so fingers crossed

    [SOLVED] Getting random bluescreens, probably related to ntoskrnl.exe ?

    Sadly that didn't do the trick Here are two additional minidump files. Not sure if they'll help but hopefully, they'll aid in narrow down the offending driver / hardware. Note that the older one was before the gpu driver reinstall and the newer one after...

    Thanks for your response, 1000W - be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum According to Armoury Crate - yes It has and it does. All drivers are up to date according to the tool. The only driver that isn't installed is the realtek audio driver but I'm using an external usb audio interface anyway...
