Asrock Z75 pro 3 issue

   Hi Asrock, just yesterday I started noticing the system time is off and it never syncs, I tried various MS updates and fixes they had available on their site; but the system is still not syncing correctly. 
I'm thinking the CMOS battery is starting to die off. Any chance I can get a replacement? This item was purchased last year October or November, I can't remember which.

Please help

	CMOS batteries are available at most any drug store and most grocery stores too. It is most likely a CR2032 button cell, but it's best to look at the battery itself as law req's it to be stamped on the.. $2.00USD, tops.

	You're welcome. Be sure that when you replace in back in it's holder that the writing is visible/facing you.

	Hey Asrock, I put in a new cmos battery and it's still not working. I think the board might be bad? Can I get a replacement?

	Once you install a new battery it is always good practice to clear CMOS completely. Turn off the system, disconnect the power from the PSU then depress the power button to be sure it isn't carrying any charge then clear CMOS and remove the battery. Leave it like this for about 10 - 20 mins then put the battery back in and set the clear jumper back to its original position. Power up the system and then sync your time again, try different servers if you have to.

	Most likely then the crystal got kiltered. Go to the below and select Repair / RMA http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp

	I don't know what i did, but it seemed to have been corrected after a couple more reboots. But now it won't recognize all of my ram sticks. I tested the ram sticks in pairs on all 4 slots; they were all recognized, but not when all 4 slots are filled.
