Since building this PC a month ago the Bios has reset when the computer is powered down over night. So when I come to turn on the PC in the morning it spends 5 minutes with all fans at full speed (I assume this is the BIOS being reset once again?). Then it boots 4(ish) more times before it finally posts. If I access the bios settings at this point I get the message saying 'BIOS has been reset. Please re-config your BIOS setup items if needed.'
I have updated the BIOS twice (once to FBh and more recently to FBi). The only settings I'm adjusting in the BIOS is the RAM XMP profile and changing the initial display output from PCIE 1 (where my 3090 lives) to PCIE 4 (where my 980ti works as my display GPU). I've also made sure the RAM is installed in the correct slots as I'm only using 4 out of 8.
My BIOS switches are set to single BIOS and I'm using the main BIOS
I have on three separate occasions checked all of the power/sata/pcie connections and everything is sitting snug and firm.
I have replaced the CMOS battery (original battery was registering 3.1v or 2.6-2.9 with resistance. New battery is measuring 3.3v or 3.0-3.1 with resistance). I left the PC switched on all day with the new battery, but it still reset when I had it turned off overnight.
The Clear CMOS jumpers are not connected in any way.
I have tried swapping the 980ti for a low powered GTX1050 in case the initial power draw was too much.
I have powered the PC down, turned off at the plug and unplugged for over 1 minute, it boots absolutely fine from this state. It also boots fine if I leave the PC off for a few hours. But if I leave it off overnight, it resets when I turn it on in the morning.
I really don't want to have to RMA the motherboard as it's my work machine. If there's anything else I can try please let me know!
My RAM is sold as supported for Trx40 boards (check the link), but the exact Module P/N doesn't come up on the memory support list for the Mobo. Could this be tripping the CMOS reset? I've not had any other issues from the RAM, and once I have the XMP profile active my zen timings are looking good.
I have plugged in both 8-pin atx 12 volt power connections as my equipment is pretty power hungry, maybe I should only have one plugged in?
Would it matter which CPU Fan connection I used for the liquid cooling system?
I'm honestly struggling to figure out what it could be now. Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!
