Random message "devices changed ( cpu or memory) or cmos have been cleared" at random times

Hello everyone!

 

So basically this sometimes happens to my PC rarelly and I cannot replicate it, for example I turned off the button of the PSU during the night and tested in the morning and nope, didn't get it.

 

Battery is also new, its a month old, it was dead and did indeed and on startup it would display this message constantly, but this random situation thing also happened with the old battery.

 

I changed the CPU a month ago or so, BUT, this also happened randomly with my old CPU, again, same random once a month for example .

 

The only thing that occurs me that I can relate is like when I am away for 3 or 4 days without turning it could happen? Well there have been other times it didn't occur tho.

 

When entering bios after the message the XMP is still enabled and bios is up to date.

 

PC behaves normally, this is just me being curious as this is kind of a "old" thing that happens to it.

 

Maybe something related to the PC thinging the RAM memory clocks are not "OK" on startup and enter this safe mode?

 

Well shoot your thoughts! 🙂

sounds like a motherboard issue

 

if it has no negative effect or does any harm, this should be fine

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Yeh maybe something related to it, doen't bother much tbh. It does not have any impact at all on anything, and happens rarelly. I am just curious.
