Only happened the first time

The only difference now is a new logo screen before the usual bios even screen, it says it's updated but looks about the same as regular bios
 
How old is the cmos battery, supposed to last 5 years or so.

If in doubt and comfortable with altering BIOS settings, disconnect mains, pull the battery for 5 minutes and let the motherboard default, if BIOS has any corrupt info, it will recover to factory defaults. Then just change BIOS settings and save.
 


Just the first time after updating the bios (for the first time),
I used the bios upgrade utility and the bios update from the download page from Biostars website
