So my computer was having an issue booting from the HDD, I opened the BIOS fixed it, and it worked fine, I go to reset the computer and for some reason, every time I start up the PC it decides to boot directly to bios, no matter what, and the really strange part is, if I chose to exit the screen, it boots to windows 7 like normal, I know its not the battery cause the date and time doesn't change, I get no warning message, no quick screen to set the boot piority, just straight to the main bios screen and that's it, I can exit it and continue on like it didn't happen but it's really annoying to constantly do and idk why its doing it
 
Solution
I have been trying to find info about this kind of problem, and apparently it could be the motherboard battery: if it's dying, it may not be able to provide enough power to the motherboard for it to keep the BIOS settings from one boot to another, and hence sends you directly to BIOS everytime you cold-boot; a replacement battery should be quite cheap, and while it's not 100% sure it will solve the problem, it's cheap enough to be worth trying. So i would open the case, retrive the battery, and replace it. If it doesn't solve the problem, it may be the keyboard (have you replaced it recently?)
