When I boot the PC it gives the following error:
Please enter SETUP to recover BIOS setting
Press F1 to run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue
I have tried to set these settings, but it come out every boot time. It can't save these settings. I use an ASUS P5QL/EPU motherboard.

Looks like the battery backing up the BIOS settings is dead. Replace the battery should help.
3Your motherboard is old so it's likely the internal battery the problem. This is the battery: You can find it, usually, in place like Auchan or Tesco (cheap) or in a computer shop. Here you can see where is the battery: in the first image is located just under the yellow ASUS!
Remeber: the operation per se is simple but it require some competence if you are not sure dont do it yourself!
I have the same exact motherboard and this error is familiar to me. Indeed you have a bad battery on that board. It can't keep the BIOS settings saved anymore. You need to replace it with a new one for this message to stop appearing. Or ignore this message altogether if you don't need any non-default settings, it's safe like that. (at least nothing happened to my computer in 6 years)
