Bios (CMOS) restarts each time power cuts occur, even when the computer is powered down. Needs manual adjustment of RAM rates and boot device after any outage.

This typically occurs when the CMOS battery on your device is depleted. When you open your computer, you should be able to locate it on the mainboard. You can purchase a matching replacement and install it. Once done, all your configurations will be restored.

I discovered several discussion boards where others faced the same issue, and they shared a method of using an eraser to rub the CMOS battery connectors. Additionally, some suggested gently bending the bottom contacts upward slightly to improve the connection. You can check the thread here: https://www.overclock.net/threads/cmos-r...y.1489957/

Use the standard 2032 battery available everywhere. Verify the connections as well.

Verify your MB and consider checking the Jumper. Try updating your BIOS to the latest version if feasible. Be aware that the system could be detecting a fake hardware change; reset to a single RAM stick and test if the problem continues.

In the last couple of weeks, just two RAM slots were repaired and it worked again. That’s all I need to say.

Phantom modifications occur when no real action is taken on a system yet it appears a change has happened, often due to malfunctioning parts or certain software releases. This might look like the CPU fan failing to show up, causing a false "hardware update" alert.
