good question, however in my experience power failures
(especially breakers going) seem to reset bios's from time
to time.
i will take a look at the bios battery, however there
doesnt seem to be any problems with the bios retaining
its settings.

I have tended to the bios and reset to optimized, fail safe etc.
Prior to the power outage there wasnt anything fancy in the bios
settings regardless.
I have tried booting the current and the two prior kernels with
the same results.
Any thoughts?
How did a power failure reset the BIOS unless the BIOS battery is dead.
IIRC, operations of a computer with a battery are indeterminate if the
battery is dead. Change the battery.
