My motherboard keeps resetting back to defaults everytime i power down for a day, when i turn it back on everything is reset and i have to change my settings back, and when i say everything i mean every back to defaults.
At first i thought a bad 3v battery but a new one didnt fix this.
Now im suspecting its this Display Port cable i bought. I bought this brand, as i keep having black screens on my 27 inch curved 2560x1440 monitor. I know its cable related because the factory cable the screen goes black and comes back every 5 seconds, a DP 1.2 cable i bought from micro center fixed this partially and it only goes to a black screen every maybe hour or so or when im gaming, especially when freesync and 144hz is on, if i go to 120hz it stops and the cables were all kinda loose inside the DP ports as well even though both have teeth to lock em. So thats why i bought this cable in the link below, its got an extended connector which they claim helps with keeping the cable more secure its a 1.4 DP cable, and they claim VESA certified. When i got the cable sure enough that extended end did in fact create a better connection, its not wobbly inside the ports anymore and its very secure and i havent had a black screen once anymore.. But one thing i didnt understand was if it was VESA certified why do they say that Pin 20 is fully connected.
This is why im wondering if this issue im having with my motherboard bios resetting is related to this cable and Pin 20 being connected. I heard feedback from the power on the monitor can go through pin 20 to the video cards and cause all kinds of issues. But i thought this was solved years ago ? Next time my PC is powered down i plan to unplug the DP cable and when i power back up the next day ill then plug the cable back in and see if the bios reset.. this way i can see if its the cable or not.
But for now what do you guys think could be resetting my bios everytime i power down ? Its not the battery, the computer is stable, and it isnt overclocked. I keep it at 4400mhz 24/7 at 1.20v and tbh ive never really overclocked the cpu except to just see how far i could get but that was ages ago.
