I don't really know where to start. It's not hurting me, but I'm confused. I don't recall doing anything different o not sure where to start looking for issues.

It boots up, shows me my drives and says "settings were reset to default values" If I go into bios, nothing looks off to me. Windows doesn't show an issue.

I'm running Win10. I can give you all the info you want. Just need a hint as to where to start looking. Thanks

How old is the Motherboard? Did you ever change your bios battery if its super old? Did you already reinstall windows? Did you do a bios update recently?

That's a 4770k, so the CPU is from ~2014, so the motherboard is probably similar vintage.

And ddr3 ram with 1600mhz. I would guess then the motherboard battery is just super weak.
