Hi, your BIOS settings and boot order seem to reset unexpectedly when you turn off your power supply. You mentioned recent changes like new SATA cables and a fresh power supply, which might help. Your current setup includes an 8-year-old case, a new i5 processor, 16GB RAM, a 1TB SSD, and brand-new cables. It appears the issue could be related to the CMOS battery or similar settings.

Are all your other bios settings affected too? It might be related to the CMOS. If you have another motherboard nearby, test with its battery; otherwise, the CMOS batteries (like CR2032) are inexpensive.

I found another piece of hardware nearby. It’s an older motherboard running DDR2 memory—uncertain if the CMOS will function properly.

Looks like a CMOS issue or an over-tightening problem. Inspect the board, confirm no contact with the pins, and ensure they aren’t bent against each other. JBAT marked in yellow indicates the jumper pins.

Only change the battery. Check the information on the battery and swap it out.

If you possess a voltmeter, check its reading. If it falls below 3.1 volts, discard it and obtain a replacement.
