Many mother boards have a battery on them that is used in retaining state. May need to be replaced.

I checked the CMOS and ended up replacing it. I thought that was it too. Same issue.

I paid 100 bucks for this server 5 years ago, came with 4TBs. Only thing I ever did with it was run private game servers on it for my friends. Maybe I'll try replacing it again just for laughs and poop.
