ASUS Eee PC 1005HAB
I open again my notebook here's the exact message and scenario;
This is the post message:
CPU : Intel(R) ATOM(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz
Speed : 1.60 GHz
Press ESC for BBS POPUP
Press F9 for image recovery
Press ALT+F2 to execute ASUS EZ Flash

Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting
Press F1 to Run Setup
Press F2 to load default values and continue
then I press F2, the Windows Boot Manager appear I select Windows 7 and my notebook open

the system date and time are correct it not reset to its factory setting.
then I restart my notebook and here's the problem instead of showing the post message above it shows/directly go to BIOS Setup Utility, but the time and date are still updated so I exit choose "Exit and save changes" even though I didn't change anything, my notebook restart then again it directly go to BIOS Setup Utility, then I try to Exit but now I choose "Exit and discard changes" then bang.... the windows loads

it seems that everytime I choose/save changes in BIOS the windows doesn't load it always go to BIOS Setup but everytime I choose "discard changes" the windows load

what do you think is the possible problem of my notebook?
