Every time I boot my PC, the BIOS settings revert to default. After changing the BIOS settings (disabling CSM, enabling 4G Decoding and Resize BAR), I save and exit. AMD Adrenalin then shows that Resize BAR is enabled. However, after the second boot, Resize BAR is disabled again, and CSM is re-enabled by default. AMD Adrenalin shows that Resize BAR is disabled. I've tried multiple times (disabling CSM, enabling 4G Decoding and Resize BAR) and saving, but it always returns to default after the first boot, and by the second boot

Resizable-BAR is irrelevant with GCN.

And, that behavior, if using Windows 11, likely will result in Windows 11 locking you out! Possibly 10, if using a Microsoft account as well.

I suggest changing the CR2032 battery!
