Hi

You are getting multiple boots. Have you overclocked the system at all ?

If not try doing an extended CMOS clear by following these instructions:

Remove the power cable from the mains supply and then press the power switch on the case for a few seconds just to drain any residual energy in the PSU capacitors.

Once done remove the motherboard battery for at least one hour before replacing it.
 
Next plug back into the mains supply and boot.
 
You will now need to enter the BIOS by pressing DEL and load Optimised BIOS Defaults.

Make any other changes to the BIOS settings to suit your self like disabling the floppy drive, disabling the full screen logo and making the HDD the primary boot device and then press F10 to save and exit.

The CMOS gets corrupted, sometimes by something as simple as using the Reset button. So yes it is possible that it could occur again. It might help to synchronise your Main and Backup BIOSes.
