Nothing is overclocked

Hello everyone.

My system has started to boot loop. Everything had been working fine for about a year since I bought the PC. All of the sudden, when turned on, it would power up, fans spinning, but no signal to the monitor. They keyboard and mouse wouldn't light up either. After about 10 seconds it would shut down only to repeat this process 4 seconds later. This would continue until the power was cut manually by me. I then turned to this forum and google for help. I reset CMOS, rearranged the RAM - plus all the other advise I saw given - but nothing helped. After a couple of hours I went back and this time it powered up as usual.
I then instantly got a message saying "All settings were reset to default values. The previous overclock settings have failed, system has been restored to its default settings".
Weird, since I hadnt overclocked anything. (Dont even know how to). It then worked fine for about a week, everything being back to normal, but has now returned exacly like before where it will boot loop forever and I am lost for ideas.

I have seen many people across the internet having issues with this motherboard. Since it went back to working condition for a week I cant imagine that one of the components are broken, but rather that it is a BIOS related thing. But im nowhere near sure. I'm a novice when it comes to this level of PC'ing. :)

So if anyone could help me with this issue I would be really thankful.

Thanks

From what I can gather my guess would be on the motherboard aswell. I just dont have an idea how to fix it. The only thing I have recently updated is my Nvidia drivers.
