Following every few standard boots, my PC prompts me to start up the BIOS, saying the CPU or RAM has been altered but I haven’t made any changes. What’s happening? I’m curious why it assumes something different. I just completed a build about a month ago and it’s been intermittently working since then. Components: Motherboard – EVGA X570, CPU – Ryzen 5950X, RAM – G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 (2x), GPU – EVGA 3090ti, PSU – EVGA T2 1000W, Power Supply – EVGA 3090ti, OS – Windows 11 Pro (64-bit).

Are both of your RAM modules being recognized by the system regularly? (It shows 32 gigabytes each time it starts, and sometimes it stays higher than 16.)

Certainly, whenever I check, it's consistently mentioned that 32GB is the standard.

Consider checking your CMOS battery; it might be dead and you could replace it.

I believed it might have been possible, but I wasn’t expecting it to end so fast. I’ll experiment with a different approach!

I managed to replace the CMOS battery, but I keep seeing random bios messages like "CPU has changed" or "memory has changed." Could there be another issue? Another possibility is that my RAM might be running too fast—its set to an XMP profile that pushes it to 3600MHz.
