The CMOS battery may be low or dead. It should be replaced.
The bios settings are volatile and will get lost due to the
shortage of this battery power.

The best source of information is the motherboard manual.
But if this is a relatively recent model motherboard, the
CMOS battery should look like a watch battery, about the
size of an American quarter, mounted in its socket on the
motherboard.
