I have a problem with a 486 PCI board. On power on, I get a  CMOS 
mismatch  error, forcing a loading of defaults. I thought it  was 
the  battery  so replaced it. Even tried an external one.  Now  I 
suspect the CMOS RAM itself, or a CMOS virus. Are there any small 
programs which will detect such a virus, or TEST CMOS RAM etc?
