On a desk top computer it will be a jumper that shorts two pins and is stowed in a normal , running, position. Move it across for a few seconds then return to normal position. On laptops, it will be a pair of gold contacts on the board, that need shorting with a wire or tweezers. I have ususlly found them under the memory modules.

Check your manual for the location of the jumper, and the correct jumper setting. As a next to last resort, try loading the factory default CMOS settings and restarting. If it still errors out, check with ASUS (http://usa.asus.com)
