Very possible you got a bad one minus.  Just for the record, I have yet to have any problems at all with mine.  It hauls butt and everything seems to be fine.
On the other hand, I am probably not a good gauge, as I am very meticulous with my computers and a bit conservative.

Minus, I had some routine problems with mine, but they were fixed with updated drivers...  I can't imagine anything that would effect your bios setup that way except a hardware problem. Send it back???  (assuming you uninstalled and re-installed everthing)
