Zenith Extreme CMOS errors

I'm running BIOS 0503

Everything was working stable until a few minutes ago when I turned my machine on. It's POSTS and then locks up and displays CMOS error on the display. I tried getting into the bios update them but can't.

How do I use the USB to install new BIOS? Is there a guide for doing this anyplace?

First I would try and clear the CMOS. To flash from USB, download the bios and rename the file to ze.cap and copy it to a usb drive. Then put it into the usb in the back marked bios (bottom blue) then hit and hold the bios button util it flashes. Let go and let it go until the light goes out.

I flashed the BIOS, worked like a charm thanks.

My issue turned out to be a faulty M.2 so I have to get that replaced. the HDD error appeared after flashing the bios.
