The system restarts repeatedly after power off.
No spare batteries available. I receive a single beep indicating the system is operational. Powering off the PC via the PSU and then restarting causes default BIOS settings to appear, whereas a full shutdown followed by restart resolves the issue. Updated: Recently removed the battery to refresh the CMOS, applied BIOS settings, restarted, and tested again—PC now functions properly after shutdown.
It seems the faulty battery was the issue. Appreciate the clarification.
