Forced BIOS

Hey guys,

Since about a month ago, whenever I turn my PC on I'm greeted with the american megatrends screen. If I open my BIOS and save and exit, it then starts as normal. I've not changed anything in said BIOS, it just started doing that. Would anyone know what's the deal? Or could point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Cold

No, windows will not load when I do nothing. I just get the American Megatrends screen.

That would be the POST screen. And usually it tells if something is wrong. But if you don't get any message, try @homeap5's suggestion of changing CMOS battery. The mobo might be loosing boot order on every boot.
