The BIOS saves data on a CMOS chip that is still volatile like other memory, but it is typically powered by a CR2032 button battery. If this battery fully discharges or is removed, the data stored in CMOS is lost and the BIOS settings will automatically be reset to default.
BIOS configuration data is stored in CMOS memory. That is where all the basic hardware settings are kept. CMOS has traditionally been volatile memory, so a battery is required. Newer BIOSes often use NVRAM.
Three common reasons for losing CMOS data include power loss, such as when a computer is unplugged or the battery fails; hardware changes, like replacing the motherboard or removing components that affect the CMOS chip; and corruption due to malware or software errors, which can disrupt the settings stored in the CMOS. Regularly replacing the CMOS battery and ensuring proper shutdown procedures can help prevent these issues.
