Re: BIOS keeps corrupting
Probably not a solution but have you checked the CMOS battery. (I interpreted the title to mean that the BIOS settings keep disappearing)
Re: BIOS keeps corrupting
I would try a new battery 1st, after that if you are at stock then reflash the BIOS or consider buying another BIOS chip to try.
Re: BIOS keeps corrupting
Well I've had a similar problem for two years..takes ages to boot up then sometimes goes in a loop (I'm guessing going to backup bios) and sometimes the bios page comes up and I don't alter anything and save and it boots up....I'm assuming the problem is because of two hard drives, two operating systems and the CPU overclocked...anyway it has never not booted up so I put up with it.
Re: BIOS keeps corrupting
Like above, check the battery. Load a newer bios, or even google for a custom bios.

AAMOI I decided to do something about it, so checked everything and then decided to check the bios..well it was F17 and the latest was F23b, so re-flashed and everything is working fine and now have a very fast boot up.
Re: BIOS keeps corrupting
Forgotten about this one.
Yes, I had to reflash the BIOS a couple of times, and it all seems to be stable again.
Soooo...not entirley sure what happened.
