Hi

I have a b450 steel legend from asrock but I am having some issues with it. Everytime my computer restarts or powers down the bios setting are reset back to default. Anyone know why? I am also having horribly long boot times even with an SSD and csm disabled.

Check the CMOS battery, see if it is loose. If it isn't I would try replacing it. If the battery is dead or not correctly seated it will cause this issue.

I think taking the battery out and putting it back in might have done the trick gents. Thank you very much. Hopefully it stays like this and I can keep my settings.

UPDATE

 

Wasn't the cmos battery. It was my RAM settings. I guess this motherboard doesn't support the RAM speeds I set very well. Boot time is a lot faster and actually sticks now.
