I guess you've answered your quetion yourself.
I personally think the cause of your problem is the CMOS battery.
Windows uses the BIOS to obtain HDD info and when your battery is low -or
even malfunctioning-
Windows could crash while working with it. To check the battery status,
power on your PC, setup the
BIOS correctly and then power down your computer. Leave it off for a few
hours (or days), then power on again, enter the BIOS and check the
settings.
If the settings are set back to factory defaults, then you know the
batteries are dead.
Try replacing the battery with good ones!

Good luck!
