I'll mention the obvious; check the CR2032 battery. They usually run
down just sitting in the box (manufacturers should include them, but
uninstalled). I always, first thing, replace the bios battery.

Interesting sidelight. The model GA-M55S-S3 (without the Nvidia VGA)
apparently isn't sold in the US. Damn foibles of marketing!
