"Wrong CMOS Settings" Error Message on Bootup

Everytime I boot up, I get a "Wrong CMOS Settings" message, and the BIOS resets. This is on a brand new motherboard.

I replaced the CMOS battery, and made the sure the jumper settings were correct, but I still keep getting this message, and the BIOS won't retain any settings changes I make.

Other than that, PC works perfectly. It boots into Windows after I exit the BIOS and runs fine.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

 

Return it for an exchange or refund.

 

Agreed. And do it now before dinking with it voids the warranty.
