When I turn my PC on it says new CPU installed? (HELP)

[TheHazzaaHD]

Hi guys,

Okay so here's what's happening. Around 1 in 3 times that I turn my computer on it will say a new CPU has being installed, press F1 to run setup. Then I have to go into the setup and reconfigure it again, then save and exit.

This is really frustrating as I haven't installed a new CPU in my computer EVER. I've had this custom made PC for around 2 years now and it's only started doing this recently. So do you know how to fix this?

Thanks.

UPDATE [FIX]: I have resolved the issue. Basically all I did was update my BIOS and now
everything is fine again
UPDATE [AGAIN]: After around 2 weeks after the orignal fix the PC began to lose it's date and time settings and I had to recover my BIOS every time I turned my PC on. To fix this I installed a new CMOS battery and now everythings fine

I suspect your motherboard might need a new battery. They just take standard CR2032 cells like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-Lithium-Button-Battery-Pack-A/dp/B003UOYB8A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421965165&sr=8-3&keywords=cr2032

Weird... It could be a lithium battery like plywrlw said.

Possibly but I wouldn't expect a two year old motherboard to require a new battery. My mobo is the Asus P8Z77-V.

Well done, glad its fixed. Your BIOS maybe became corrupted somehow

That's great! What version of BIOS did you have?

I had Version 1708 BIOS for the Asus P8Z77-V and I updated to the Version 2104
