they are being complety reset. i go threw and re set the time date, over clock my cpu and memory, reset the vit board, and what not.
the part that gets me is that i can have the system on and restart it for what ever reason ( windows updates,network config, loading programs) or from a cold start. they will be reset!

sounds like a stability issue...
your bios will reset if it runs into an major stability problem...to protect itself it will revert back to default settings.
that fact that it works some times or for a while, could mean that is not that unstable, it's only under certain conditions it will force this error. BIOS chips can go bad but you would have more problems with boot and restarts if that was the case. check your event viewer to see what kind of errors your getting this way you'll be able to narrow down what's going on inside your PC..
did you try to flash your bios and check your mobo mfg. site for the latest and/or the most overclocking friendly version of the BIOS for your board...download it...store it...flash...clear cmos...install it...try it now?
just for fun get mem86 and test your RAM see if it's working correctly?
CPU, MOBO, RAM spec's for better answer...?

Well...whenever a person changes the battery on the CMOS you must reset the BIOS to it's default settings....if you haven't done this then that is why the BIOS is asking to return or reset itself to it's default settings....do so in the BIOS and see if it stops this dialog!

It might be more complicated than this, but it sounds like your clock's counter chip has gone bad and when it reaches some number it resets to 0 because of whatever is defective in it. It might be your firmware, telling it to reset by being poorly programmed. try updating it, or if you recently updated it get rid of it.

i would bet someone else is accessing the bios because the bios is flashed it doesn't change by taking out the battery the battery removal resets the cmos so either you have a split personality or you need to find out who's changing the bios

Try restoring BIOS to default settings. Your overclock settings, especially on the memory might not be 100% stable.

Oh...I preferred your different one bigger :) But that is cool. I final transformed mine....the day before today I consider? I like replacing it most often...you already know, maintain em guessing hahah I simply had a snooze...I'm now not worn out anymore! A bit headachy nonetheless...however all in all, adequate.

'overclock CPU and memory'
depending on the amount of overclocking you are doing, you may have damaged your sh!t.
