I own an old Gigabyte G41MT-S2 (rev 1.4) motherboard. Each time I power on the PC it shuts off and restarts right away, displaying a CMOS check error before turning back on. After several attempts, I’ve cleared the CMOS, replaced the battery, and flashed the newest BIOS for that board—still the same 2011 version. No improvement.

It depends on whether you fully cut power or just restart the PSU after turning it back on. Setting up and testing RAM before switching to Windows is recommended for stability.

Yes, after completely powering off. But the time resets & also that CMOS checksome error. I don't think this is a normal process.

I didn’t examine it closely, yet all the PCs I own do this—remove XMP, revert to defaults, and check if it still works.

All configurations start from the default. I don’t usually push the processor beyond its limits or adjust the BIOS settings. It’s just a small hassle that requires resetting the time each day. Probably some issues are outside our control. Thanks a lot for your time and assistance. I truly value it.
