It's a CR2032 model battery, they are very cheap, I'd suggest replacing it - sounds like it is dead.

I would suggest double checking your power connections to the motherboard, the 20 or 24 pin ATX connection and the 12v cpu power which will be a 4 pin or 8 pin if you haven't already done so.

If that doesn't help the next thing I would do is try a different power supply if able..

Power supply is off brand but it works pretty well  it's also new it's just called artic blue 

 

I've used them before had no problems so I though I'd stick to them I recently upgraded to 850w PSU for my dual GPUs

I did some googling and found quite a few forum threads of that board dying on people.. but another one I found with the battery issue fixed it by using a different PSU for a few boots, then going back to the original.. which I wouldn't call a good thing..

This problem only happens when I have to full shut down the pc not if windows is doing an update (sometimes it does need doing) maybe motherboards nackered wouldn't surprise me had it since it launched lol

fortunately my psu isn't bad and I trust them 

I know Corsair etc are good for quality but affordability is rediculous I can just about afford

Ryzen3200g 

Motherboard

And ram 

 

I can't budget for a PSU as just those parts bring me to just about my limit 

But I will definitely get an upgrade for the PSU eventually

I wouldn't, they're no-name junk. You really wouldn't need to spend much in order to get something that was decent enough.
