[SOLVED] Why does it say "CMOS fail, press del to enter setup" ?

I installed a Biostar motherboard and and it says "CMOS failure, press del to enter set up" ?

Fairly normal for first boot. Press delete and save and exit bios. If problem persists, replace cmos button cell battery.

On my system with Asus B550M TUF Gaming motherboard I get that whenever it fails to POST using saved memory settings in CMOS. When that happens it reverts to default DDR4, 2133 usually, to let the system run while in BIOS.
