Default BIOS not saving.

I figured out why my computer is not stable. My RAM timings arent set correctly they need to be set at 7-7-7-28 and the trc needs to be 38 and my voltage at 1.9 Volts. EASY so i go into BIOS do all this save on my way out and i restart check to make sure it saves and boot windows. I go to nvidia system manager and cpuid and its clocked to my old settings! so i go back to BIOS to see if its just the program and its not everything is clocked back....... WHAT DO I DO Overclock.net?!

Does it keep the time? If not, change the BIOS battery on the motherboard (although as long as you don't unplug it from power everything should be kept there, even with no battery).
If it does, it probably thinks your settings are unstable and resets everything.

Sure you hit the save button afterwards?

Also, use CPU-z, not nvidia mambo jambo.

Is this will all else stock? Sounds like it is reverting back to default due to unstable OC. (or unstable something)
