Problem with Bios......intermttent loss of saved settings.
As of late I am experiencing a strange loss of Bios setting when I either warm boot or cold boot.
Examples as follows:
When restarting either from a warm restart or cold restart, I will hear 3 beeps which I believe is a memory related error, correct me if I am wrong. I do know if settings go back to default range the voltage is less than what is needed to successfully boot with OC settings enabled.
I have also noticed that I sometimes do loose all of the bios settings under many different conditions, regardless of how and why I had to restart.
The one setting that stands out the most is the FSB setting, many times this value is the only value changed; [goes back to default] and needs to be reset.
This machine has given me yeoman service since 2008 and has been OC'D at a 50% overclock 60% of the time, the rest of the time it is OC'D at a bit higher rate and stable.
I did replace the Battery on the MOBO[P5K-Premium WiFi/AP thinking this might possibly be the cause. I have found the incident of this happening to be less but values in the BIOS still change however infrequently.
I was thinking that the Bios could possibly be corrupt and might reflash it. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone has on this issue.
I have had so very little issues with this build I have taken it for granted, it still is very quick, it still works great, I am in the works of getting together a new build but this issue is annoying.
Again, any insight would be appreciated, ThanX...........
