Do you face any problems while saving anything on BIOS controls?
Recently I also experienced this BIOS not saving issue in my Asrock motherboard.
I cant save anything in The BIOS prefs of my motherboard.
Then I figured out the reason behind this issue, and I successfully fixed my BIOS issue.
So, Dont worry.
Here I come up with the solution to the BIOS saving problem of BIOS through this post.
Before we jump into the solution, lets know about the BIOS, Its work-process first.
Then go to the cause of the problem and the solution to it.
What is BIOS?
BIOS means Basic Input/Output System.
It is the firmware for the booting process and hardware initialization.
It also provides runtime services to the Operating System and other programs.
In a word, BIOS is pre-installed software on the board for running the PCs program perfectly.
BIOS basically is an instructor that instructs the basic programs of computers.BIOS also compiles booting and hardware control.
You also need BIOS to configure hardware like Mouse, Keyboard, RAM, etc.
Other softwares like OS are installed via BIOS.
You need a bootable disc or USB equipment for installing OS on your PC.
You have to go to your BIOS to change any internal controls on OS or any hardware controls.
Go to your BIOS options, change the options and save the changes.
But sometimes BIOS configs wont Save in your motherboard.
There are some reasons behind this issue.
Lets find out what the issue is.
Why wont you preserve your BIOS configs?
So always Be careful when you want yo make a change in your BIOS.
Because if make any incorrect options, then the PC boot will not work perfectly.
If you finish making a change, go to save changes options, and a change will happen.
BIOS will change the options by restarting your rig.
If the parameters do not change, then something must have happened.

Here are the two reasons for saving the failure of configs on BIOS:
1.
CMOS battery failure of your motherboard
CMOS battery failure is the main reason for BIOS prefs dont change.
Yes, when Your CMOS battery did not work perfectly, the CMOS system started to malfunction.
When you change a BIOS setting, the PC needs a restart to save the change.
But BIOS continues its Operation when you plug of.
Thats why BIOS wont be able to save the changes.
Check out the easiest way togateway BIOS updates.
Both Laptop and desktop need a CMOS battery.
Mainly used in LAPTOP than the desktop computers.
The CMOS battery is charged when your gear is plugged into the power.
Then it helps the CMOS chip to trigger the BIOS after plugging off.
The CMOS battery has lasted for 8-10 years after being manufactured.
You have to keep your laptop plugged in to give the battery longevity.
Now you have to notice the CMOS battery life.

There are some primary symptoms of CMOS battery failure:
These are the primary symptoms of CMOS battery failure.
For these two reasons, you wont be able to change your BIOS setting.
BIOS always reset default options in this situation.

Why always your BIOS reset parameters?
Sometimes, When you change your BIOS controls.
It restarts for save changing but change to default configs of the BIOS.
Pretty mysterious!!!
It happens when your CMOS battery dies and when any motherboard hardware gets damaged.
BIOS operates system prefs when the PC is plugged off with the help of a CMOS battery.
The CMOS battery supplies power to the motherboard to operate BIOS to save the changes.
If the battery dies or does not ideally supply powers, BIOS cant save the new changes of
parameters.
But for keeping the system running BIOS, go back to the previous prefs or reset to default prefs.
BIOS goes back to its default tweaks to initiate the system in this situation.
Thats why BIOS keeps resetting the default system.
How You back up your BIOS configs?
you might keep your BIOS tweaks by replacing your CMOS battery and changing the motherboards damaged hardware.
When you change your CMOS battery, it helps your motherboard run BIOS after switching the gadget.
Here are the steps of the CMOS battery changing process:
You have to fix the F1 error also.
Check the notification of hardware problems.
Conclusion
Changing the BIOS prefs is essential for PC to keep it up-to-date.
But for some reason some times your BIOS does not work perfectly.
I elaborated on this BIOS issue and wrote down the solution in this post.
Here CMOS battery plays an essential part in saving BIOS prefs.
Hope this post will help you to know about BIOS problems and fix it properly.
