Anyone had this problem before?

Whenever I remove power from my system (pull out the plug) for whatever reason, my BIOS resets to defaults. Apparently something is wrong, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this, or if it's just a defective motherboard.

Thanks.

Ok, easy fix. My At7 mobo came with a bad battery. Sad but true. I replaced the battery with the one from my old mobo and now my BIOS is saving its settings just fine.

Much cheaper than RMAing the board and shipping it back...
