For the purposes of this question I'm assuming you are running a PC running Windows 7
Save your work and close all browsers and any other applications apart from Windows and run the 'Windows Memory Diagnostic' app.
To do this type 'mem' in the Windows 'Search programs and files' box that appears when you click the Windows icon (bottom left of your screen). This is enough for Windows to identify that you want Windows Memory Diagnostic. Select it and run it, this will restart your PC and automatically check your RAM for problems....
At least this way you should know if your RAM has a detectable fault.

The reason that causes your BIOS to reset to its defaults is a dead battery. Because CMOS (BIOS settings) is a volatile form of memory, the memory chip needs a constant power source, even when the computer is off. To supply this, there is a coin battery located directly on the motherboard. Simply replace this with the exact same kind and you shouldn't have any more problems.
