Hi,

I'm having this strange problem with my computer: basically when i turn it on after like 4/5 seconds it reboots itself without me doing anything and then it will ask me to "Press F1 to recover BIOS settings". If i press F1 it opens up my BIOS and then i can simply exit and will boot the pc, but i don't get why it does that.

Another thing, which is probably connected to this problem, is that when i go to the BIOS and change some settings (for example i was enabling XMP profile for my RAM), they will get reverded when i turn off the pc: after the F1 screen pops up again, the XMP profile is gone and it goes back to "Auto"... Happens everyime and it's really annoying.

(example, not my pc)

I don't know what these things are and how to spot them, i'm really not into MOBOs components or terminology sorry...
