Hi,

Not sure what is going on with your rig, but your English is fine. If it is not holding the settings and you Save Before You Exit as you should, then try another motherboard battery and see if that helps. If not, we can look at other possible issues, but with this one am kind of limited on options. Post back with questions/concerns.
