Powering down PC resets BIOS
Hi guys, weird issue here and hoping someone has any ideas to why.
I typically remove power from my PC whenever I go out of town due to power outages that sometimes plague my area (yes, I have a UPS, still…). Down time here was 3 days.
Anyway, after restoring power and booting the PC there’s usually no issues. However, this last time, upon powering up I noticed the BIOS had reset to its default settings – XMP disabled (I always enable), splash screen enabled (always disable), fast startup disabled (usually enabled), as well as a few other areas.
I don't think this is a CMOS battery issue as both BIOS clock and date maintained the correct time and date.
Anyone see this before? BTW this is a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme. See system specs. Also not overclocking.
