I have gone through the entire no post checklist that has been posted on this site and nothing worked. I have just built a pc.

intel core i5 6500
g.skill argis ddr4 2133 8gb ram
v-nand ssd 850 evo samsung

Real Time Clock malfunction . 5 short beep

Ensure that the CMOS battery is in. I have also seen a CMOS battery having a plastic pull tag on it - sometimes you may see pre-installed batteries with these. The pull tag and plastic that goes with it, it interferes with the battery and contact point so the battery can't drain while the item isn't in use in it's packaging. If your CMOS battery has some kind of plastic pull tag sticking out, you may need to remove it. I'm not sure if this is the case, but it could be something to look for.

It's also possible there is a problem with the CMOS battery and it's dead. You can hit up CVS/Target/Walmart/Walgreens and get a replacement battery. The battery type is a CR2032.

If nothing is obstructing the battery, if the battery is in correctly and if you even tried replacing the battery with a new one - it could just be a faulty MB.
