Power loss should not cause a BIOS to reset to default. A weak or dead MB battery might cause this behavior.
Your machine should never be subjected to power failure. Whether turned on or powered off and plugged in, you should take steps to ensure the system is protected. A power strip with circuit breaker is not enough. A good UPS with AVR goes a long way to protecting your investment. They don't cost much, and are worth the investment. I've been using CybePower UPS's for years. APC owns them. They have offerings no matter what your budget.
