I recently tried to get an old MSI P965 Neo motherboard working, but the cmos is getting cleared every time i boot the pc. I tried a new 2032 3v battery, but it still wasnt working. I can get into the BIOS and change settings, but they are cleared every time. Also, the date and time setting in the bios is flickering, it changes to random numbers.

EDIT: Also gives me a floppy disk error (40)
 
Solution
It sounds like the clear cmos jumper is on. Try finding the clear cmos jumper and switch the thing covering the two pins so that it covers a different two pins.
