Seems like a non-trivial problem for most of us but I've tried two different batteries in my mobo, one supposedly brand new I got with my extra bios chip, but the bios won't save the settings any time I unplug and has really been annoying lately since I've had to physically access it a lot lately due to a faulty psu. Is this for sure my cmos battery?
 
I feel your pain. I have had a similar problem with my first build. Replacing the cmos battery did not solve the problem. Anytime power is shut off my bios settings go to default. I have placed my computer on a battery backup to prevent this but it is an irritating problem. Any repairs that can be done at home without having to send the board out would be better for me. If I have to do that I might as well upgrade with a new board.
