I don't really know where to start. It's not hurting me, but I'm confused. I don't recall doing anything different o not sure where to start looking for issues.

It boots up, shows me my drives and says "settings were reset to default values" If I go into bios, nothing looks off to me. Windows doesn't show an issue.

I'm running Win10. I can give you all the info you want. Just need a hint as to where to start looking. Thanks

That's a 4770k, so the CPU is from ~2014, so the motherboard is probably similar vintage.

And ddr3 ram with 1600mhz. I would guess then the motherboard battery is just super weak.
