BOOT LOOP motherboard issue?

[SuperDuperDino]

Okay so I usually am okay with troubleshooting my computer whenever a problem arises.
This time, however, I can't figure it out and its been months and getting very frustrating.

So my hardware:
INTEL I5 3570K
CORSAIR H60
GIGABYTE Z77X-D3H
2X8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR3 1600MHZ
ASUS STRIX GTX 1070
XFX PRO850W PSU 80+ SILVER
INTEL SSD

RUNNING ON
ACER PREDATOR xb271hu MONITOR
ASUS 24 INCH 1080P

Problem: Boot loops for like 10-15 minutes until loads older version of motherboard screen (like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QnpGb.jpg ) or sometimes doesnt even boot at all. I would proceed to cut power off the psu, reset cmos via battery, take out and reinsert ram, etc. Then it would load into the updated motherboard screen (like this: http://i.imgur.com/mOwMCJP.jpg ) then goes into bios where I can reboot into the OS and it becomes normal again.

This happens everytime I shut my computer off for more than 30 minutes. If I restart (instantly), then it comes up fine again (without the boot loops). See normally, I would think the motherboard or something is defective, BUT the thing is, if it is on, it works completely fine and normal. So I have to resort leaving on my computer days even weeks at a time so I don't get stuck in boot loops when I need the computer.

Does anyone have any solutions or had similar experiences? I've updated my motherboard firmware and everything also.

Your motherboard symptoms seem to indicate that the CMOS settings are being lost. Have you tried replacing the CR2032 coin cell battery?

I remember replacing the battery a couple years ago. But then again its been 5-6 years since I built it. I will give that a try and give an update. Thanks!

Does your motherboard has Dual BIOS? Because it looks like it fails to load primary BIOS for some reason, and after few failed reboots it loads from backup BIOS (that's why old version of splash screen). So you would need to find out why it fails at primary BIOS. Battery change is certainly good idea.

Update: I replaced the battery and it is still giving me issues. I keep getting the outdated white motherboard boot screen.

So I:

1) had one RANDOM (idk what I did) boot where it gave me the error message that main bios was corrupted, and was going restoring from backup, which seemed good but then after the loading was done, it went to black again.

2) Tried going into backup bios (didn't really work) since it indeed has dual bios but apparently you have to "unplug and remove battery then press power button a lot of times" since there is no dual bios switch on this mother board 🙁

3) tinkered with it for an hour and a half until it gave me options to load optimized defaults and boot/reboot. I was able to boot into my desktop ONCE. And it was strange since my monitor only ran at 60hz when it can go 144hz (no option to change either) and my secondary Asus monitor did not show up. So I restarted and it gave me the white bios screen again when it should be black.

At this point I want to throw this computer across the room and sell it as broken. However, I really dont want to since I only play games on it and invested in another computer (laptop) as a workstation. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I think I solved it. I did a bunch of stuff but what fixed it was downgrading the bios to an older version. I had the latest one on which was in "beta" so I Q-flashed an older bios in an it works so far so good.
