Strix 870F - Bios settings won't save when power supply is turned off

[neverfastenuf]

When my pc is powered down (Power supply off) my bios settings reset to default. This happens if the power supply is off for 2 minutes. I saved a profile and it was gone too. Is something set wrong in the bios to retain my settings? I have had the board less than a month bought new.

Bios version 1001. Same thing happened with 0903 and 0803.

I replaced the CMOS battery hoping it would fix the issue. It seemed to work until I had the power off for over 30 minutes. Upon turning it back on it went back to F1 had stop.

I found an option in BIOS that solves my problem. Just activate ErP Ready (S4+S5) like on this screenshot

Let me know if it solves your problem @neverfastenuf

Thanks, I will give it a try!

I have exactly the same problem on the same motherboard, with this message:

"Please enter setup to recover bios setting.
When raid configuration was built, ensure to set sata configuration to raid mode.
Press f1 to run setup."

I thought it was a RAM problem and it's not. I've also replaced the bios battery and the problem is still there. The bios date and time won't reset. I've also reset the bios, flashed the new 1003 bios, with the bios factory settings, and the problem is still there. When I don't switch off the PSU I don't have any problems, and the PC boots normally.
