Hello there! I am new to the forum.
I own an H81M-VG4 motherboard and I only have a few settings in BIOS that I activate, like VT-d, Sata Hot Plug and some others, but no overclocking settings. Every time when I unplug the PSU or there is a power failure, computer turned on or off (doesn't matter), when I turn it on, it just restarts 2 times and BFG kicks in. I have it disabled anyway. Is there a way to inhibit it? I don't want to redo the settings every time, so I saved them so I can load them fast. I have no problem with BFG if I shut down or restart, but only when there is no power to the PSU.
Any help appreciated.

Sorry for double post. I can't seem to find the edit option.

I forgot to add that I have the latest BIOS version for this motherboard.
If for any importance: i7-4770s, AMD R7 370, 4 TB Seagate NAS HDD, Tagan TG480-U01 480W PSU

Problem solved. I have changed the CMOS battery.

Is there no way to edit a post?
