    Why does my Acer Laptop have random loss of BIOS settings?
    • J
      James CampbellSep 12, 2025
      If your Acer Laptop experiences random loss of BIOS settings, replace the CMOS battery if the computer is more than one year old. Run a complete virus scan with updated software. If experiencing HDD or ODD BIOS information loss, disconnect and reconnect the power and data cables between devices. If HDD information is missing from the BIOS, the drive may be defective and should be replaced. As a last resort, replace the motherboard.
