Ok, so I know my bios is not possessed, but it still is acting up.
Every time I change bios settings, my computer stops showing any signs of life. I have to clear CMOS and re apply the settings for it to actually apply anything and boot.
In detail:
system stuff:
5600g (Ryzen master auto OC and curve optimizer with positive offset)
16Gb T-force Vulcan ram (ran extensive windows memory diagnostics without any error so it's not ram)
XFX 6650xt (decent OC work, but I know that it is stable)
MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Normally, I would just deal with having to clear CMOS, but as the battery is directly under my GPU it's become quite an issue and takes a lot of finesse with a screwdriver with tape on the end to put back in.
Is this a common issue? Or, does anyone else have any ideas for how to solve this?
EDIT:
since the CMOS battery is underneath the GPU I can't really see it, so it the off chance that it isn't fully pressed in what would the computer be acting like?
I want to make sure it's not something really stupid like that.

In detail:
- I set fan speed curves in bios
- I click save and reboot
- system shuts off, and then system turns on and outputs no video, no peripherals receive power, no MOBO diagnostic lights. The only signs of anything happening are the case power led lights and fans cycle up and down.
- the computer does not respond to reset or power switch, so I need to turn off the power supply, clear CMOS, then turn it and the system back on.
- I re-apply the bios settings I have, and re-apply my fan curve changes and the system is works and boots to windows.
