So I have a small problem that is really confusing me. My laptop will not save boot priorities. I can get it to boot properly if I go into the UEFI and choose the correct drive and sometimes it will boot automatically into the correct drive. I thought at first it was the cmos battery but I am not getting any beeping or on screen warnings or any other symptoms of a bad cmos battery. What could this possibly be?

it still could be battery....u dont always get warnings when battery is bad....but its really hard for me to say what else it could be without ur laptop rt in front of me...could be powersupply issue as well...i would just change the battery see what happens....those are that expensive ...always start with the easiest first....maybe u got boot virus as well...or video card issue....i mean it could be anything...

No when I set it in the bios it work perfectly but after i restart my computer even if it is plugged in, it will lose what I set it to. It saves the time still just not the boot priorities, which is why I find it weird.

Most likely!  

 

@@fireurza  check the voltage of the little battery on the mobo. If it's under 3V then replace it.
