Thus you must be talking about CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) where all settings are stored date/time ,system setup parameters etc...)

Maybe is your battery running low on your motherboard and need to be replaced.


P.S. Do you have "Flash write Protect" enabled ?
Hi again

There is no flash write in this version of BIOS and I have replaced the battery although the old one was reading 3.12V. It does not bugger the BIOS just puts everything to default and then of course it won't boot till you put it right again coz the checksum is wrong
