Just had a bit of an odd thing happen with my P8Z77.
Shut down at the end of the day and everything was working fine. Next morning, I boot up, and the system stops at POST with a CPU fan error (I have an oversized, low speed CPU fan, so normally have the fan check disabled). Anyway, I ignore the error and let the system boot.
The first thing I notice is that my VMs won't run. Virtualbox just whines about hardware virtualization not being available.
Sure enough, I reboot and check the BIOS settings, and sure enough a variety of random settings, including fan monitor, V-Tx and stuff (but not major stuff like CPU speed or boot order) have changed from where I had left them.
Just wondered what would cause a few random settings to change - it's not like the settings were reset to default, or there was a checksum error. And the mobo is only a few months old, so it's unlikely to be the battery.
