    Usually means either you BIOS rom chip is faulty or a something on the motherboard is faulty.


    Things you can try are,

    ensure that all cable are ok

    Check if everthing is seated correctly inside.

    or

    Start you computer with only the basic. Video, RAM and CPU.

    It could mean that the motherboard battery is dying. They don't cost much so I'd just change it.
