If the settings are lost when turned off, that would be a bad bios battery. A bad battery shouldn't/wouldn't cause "whole loota trouble". Without knowing what the problems are i can't suggest what to do.

yes its just all bios setting going back to default....

Replace battery. Should be attached to the mobo, look like a flat disk/coin.
