Question What are the symptoms of a bad CMOS battery?

[FergyBoi]

Hello! The title says it all. I believe I have a bad CMOS battery because my PC has been acting oddly while booting, and the clock was about 7 hours off.

For more information about the weird booting, check my last post.

1| Every cold boot will ask you to get into BIOS because BISO settings are reset.
2| Time in BIOS is reset or not the same as your own time

You should replace the CMOS battery with a fresh cell, ASAP.

It doesn't say anything about the CMOS battery when I boot, it just seems like it to me. I have an Asrock B450M pro4 and I can't figure out where to check the status of the CMOS battery in the BIOS.
