Hi, so just a quick question. Why does my motherboard ask me "F1 to run setup or F2 to load defaults" after I plug out the power to swap parts etc? Is there an option in the bios to tell it to just continue with the last bios configuration? It's not a problem at all, I'm just asking out of curiosity; my motherboard is working flawlessly and I also installed a most expensive bios battery I could find.

Here's a hilarious one. Recently a neighbor called a pc guy from a local pc service shop, to install a new cpu cooler for his pc. The pc guy installed the cooler and after that there was no post, no reaction to the power button, nothing. The pc guy claimed he had to take out the cmos for the pc to start working again. Does that normally happen that the motherboard is half dead after changing the cpu cooler? Also the pc guy neglected to say he obviously hit the motherboard with a big magnetic screwdriver multiple times while his hands were shaking. When I arrived at the scene of comedy and tragedy, the pc was in a reboot loop, usb ports were failing and loosing contact, and pc guy wrote the bill and ran off almost literally, leaving his screwdriver and a bunch of stuff behind. Since that my neighbors motherboard randomly resets the bios to default when plugged into power, loses contact with usb ports, mouse freezes, etc. Thoughts? Because he is nagging me all the time with that.
