First, if you haven't yet, replace the battery. I know it checks out OK, but for around $2, why not? If that doesn't help, check the motherboard to see if the reset CMOS jumper has been put on correctly. It is a 3 pin jumper, with one set being reset, and the other set being normal. 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)

How do you get a computer out of power save mode when computer screen is black?
When you cannot get a computer out of "power save mode", the culprit usually is an empty battery on the motherboard of your computer. Typically, this happens on a computer which is a few years old, since its batteries will have run out after such a long time. The motherboard battery is used to store various settings, such as date and time, when the mains power is off. When your computer detects an empty battery, it goes into a low-power mode. The computer will then display as message, like "Power save mode - press any key on keyboard or move mouse". However, in certain circumstances, doing so does nothing. The solution is to replace the button-cell battery on the motherboard of your computer: * open the case of your computer; * visually locate the motherboard (the main electronic circuit board) of your computer; * visually scan the motherboard for a button-cell battery (it looks like a digital watch battery, but a bit larger); * remove this motherboard battery from your computer; * restart your computer: it should now power up normally (you may get some warning messages during the start-up sequence, but ignore them); * set the date and time of your computer using the "Date and Time" control panel; * you can now use your computer normally, but you will lose date and time settings when you disconnect the computer power cord, since there is no motherboard battery present to store them; * take the motherboard battery to an electronics store and get a replacement; * install the new battery in your computer; * restart your computer, and set the date and time again; the settings will now be saved using motherboard battery power.

Where does the CMOS RAM receives its power when the computer is not turned on?
The CMOS is run off of a battery on the motherboard.
What happens to the system if there is no internal battery in the motherboard?
CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) usually describes a small amount of memory on a computer motherboard that stores the BIOS settings. Powered by a small battery, the CMOS also stores time and date details, etc. If the time and date on the computer is wrong whenever the computer is booted up, then a failing CMOS battery is a likely cause - and needs to be replaced. If there wasn't a CMOS battery, or it is a dud, mains power could possibly (as happened on an old laptop of mine, so time ago!) be used to run the computer, but time and date will need to be updated manually on each reboot.
Where does the CMOS power come from when the computer is off?
The complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) power comes from the CMOS battery located on the motherboard. This battery powers the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) and stores the start-up config for the computer.
How does CMOS work?
CMOS is the little battery in the computer's motherboard which keeps the computers internal clock running.
Why computer changes date and time during restart computer?
If that is happening, the battery on the motherboard in the computer is either dead or not properly connected. The battery can be replaced provided the right type. They are cell batteries which are similarly used in wrist watches.
