Question I get "Reboot and select proper boot device" everytime I turn on the PC, I have to go to BIOS and reset to defaults every time ?

I changed my graphics card and right after I did that, this issue began. I tried rolling back to previous BIOS and it's no use. I even switched to a brand new CMOS battery. I've no idea what is up there =(

It was an upgrade from R7 360 to RX 590. The 590 had error 43 which I solved by flashing its BIOS and now Im figuring out some stability issues with it.
 
From where did you get the RX590? If you had to flash the BIOS on it, that is a good sign it was tinkered with for mining. The memory may be on the way out if there are stability issues. Try underclocking the memory a little.
I did, and so far it's been running fine. I underclocked the GPU and memory. But the requiring a BIOS reset problem is still there which is very annoying.
 
did you install the cmos battery correctly? is the plus sign visible?
is it the correct battery type? 3V CR2032

does it happen with the other GPU as well now?
Well, it was fine before the GPU swap. The problem with swapping GPUS is that the case is quite small, I had to uninstall the CPU cooler, RAM and pull off the mobo cable in order to even get it in there with difficulty.
Having said that, I find it not likely that its the CMOS battery for two reasons:
1: It was fine before and a problem I've never had before
2: It actually LIKES having the CMOS cleared. In fact I'm having to clear it every time.

the best way to find out if the gpu is the problem is to remove it and try another one. process of elimination is great. if you don't want to dig around in your case once or twice more then you might as well just accept resetting the bios every time you power on the comp as your new reality.

Yeah but if I find out its the GPU, so what? Its not like Im going to get back to a R7 360 cause of it, so it's kinda pointless.
Also, if I can find what setting ischanging on the BIOS I can manually set it to the default which is working.
