Have you tried checking your CMOS?  This has happened to me on occassion when
the CMOS was in correctly set or the battery was dead (which will default to
standard CMOS, no drives installed)  Most CMOS will hold memory info for up to
4 hours without a battery, but after that it reset to default.  If your CMOS
continually changes, then the battery is dead.
