If this is an 11th gen board, there’s a good chance that the RTC battery needs to be replaced. Support will send you one for free. Make sure to use that one or if you source one on your own, make sure that it is rechargeable. Also, follow the directions very carefully, as the RTC battery holder is extremely fragile. Best of luck.
