Basically every time I boot it say that memok has succeeded in booting and to save the settings then says press f1 to resume, I have tried saving the settings and then resetting the other settings, for example disabling cool and quiet and setting the cpu fan to silent but when I reboot it says the same message and all the settings have to be set again but the time is allright, to me this seems to be a dead battery but the time hasn't changed or reset?

Rig in the Sig btw

Just to double check if a replacement is required will these suffice?

If its a bad battery the system date and time would be wrong. I would try updating the bios first and see what happens.
 
If its 3 to 5 yrs ya might want too anyway. CR2032 is standard for a motherboard for a tower. Open it up and check. You will see it. 2032.
 
If your losing settings then you'll lose all saved settings, not just a couple. In my opinion anyway.

Yeah thats usually what happens in my expierence but I just cant see what else it can be, it has been slowly doing it more and more until now it just does it all the time, havent had any recent hardware changes and I cant see why else it would lose settings in the bios, once I manually set them they last until I restart the computer.
 
Try to upgrade BIOS in DOS mode n change the CMOS battery with new one see what happens. If it coudn't solve yr problem, change motherboard. ok
