2 options. The backup battery for your cmos is gone to NiCD heaven or you moved a jumper/shorted a jumper/created a short and the cmos configurations went the same way.

Re-do your BIOS config, and test it turning off your PC for 2-4 hours to see if it looses it again, if so replace the battery.

Thanks Alot, it was with my bios The bios said to serch for a flopy drive but I did not have one installed. So I chaged it and it worked perfectly. Thanks Again
