Hiya,

WHEN I START MY COMPUTER [...] AFTER FEW HOURS WHEN I AGAIN POWER ON THE PC IT
AGAIN SHOWS BAD CMOS SETTINGS. WHY?

Could be the battery cell has come to its end. Get a new one, replace
the old one and check again!

Good luck!

Change the m/b battery.

It is highly annoyed at your shouting, and has exhausted its cmos
battery. Replace it.

Motherboard battery. Check your keyboard too, the one you are using seems to
have the capslock jammed.

I worked on a motherboard the other day and I had to download the .pdf of
the manual, as my mate had lost his, and it turned out, that the motherboard
I was working on, stores the information in two places, one of them being
the "EEPROM" (which was a option on the BIOS Screen) in the manual it
advised me, that is the power cord was removed from the machine (if I was
moving the pc to another room) there would be settings on the machine I'd
have to reset, like the system date and time, when I booted it back up, and
put the other settings from the "EEPROM", so technically the bios was
forgetting all the settings if I was to remove power...

when you've finished with your machine, and you power down, do you also
switch off at the mains?

Even if you switch to "Default (factory) settings"?
