Your systems firmware did not preserve the system memory map.

Hello all and sorry if there's already a thread out there with this problem/solution. I did some googling and didn't see anything from Tom's.

Backstory:
I went out one day and put my PC to sleep as normal, came back and it wouldn't power up. After tinkering and swapping out the PSU for a new one, I replaced the CMOS battery for a new one and it booted right up.

I got the black screen the first time booting up and was left with no choice but to "delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu." Afterwards it booted to the start menu to select user and password and all seemed fine.

Now, everytime it hibernates and I wake it up, no video is displayed and I"m forced to force shut it down and reboot and I get the "Windows Resume Loader" screen each time. I'm not sure if it does this after longer sleeps or any sleep, haven't tested that yet.

Is there a driver I need to update or something I need to do in BIOS? I read somewhere where someone said to delete a battery driver under device management but I didn't see one for my PC.

TLDR: Getting "Windows Resume Loader" screen after hibernating computer since changing CMOS battery.


Specs:
MOBO: MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming 5
CPU: I5 4790K Devil's Canyon
PSU: Corsair CX850
RAM: 2x (8Gb) Gskill TridentX DDR3 2400
GPU: MSI GTX 970
Cooling: Corsair H100i
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit.
 
Solution
I would reinstall all the motherboard drivers and check for BIOS updates first.

Something strange happening, because I have had PCs with dead CMOS batteries boot with no issue - just they wouldnt save any settings on shutdown.
