At the risk of committing a Redmond Heresy, consider that the problem may be in 
your installation of Windows. But I would try zapping the pram first.

I’ve never lost anything that I noticed losing, other than the stored boot 
device, which in this case is the point. In the old days it would lose your 
clock setting until you manually reset it, and it still resets that, but today 
it’s all set over the network anyway, so you don’t even notice that.
