I have had this Victus laptop for about 9 months, and I've noticed when I need to force restart by holding the power button, it will come up with error 502 for an invalid CMOS checksum after a few seconds of booting. The laptop otherwise still works fine, but I was wondering if this was normal, and if there is a way to fix it, because I am tired of having to constantly change BIOS settings back to my preference after this happens.

No, it's not normal. Your machine does NOT have CMOS or RTC battery therefore most likely its CMOS chip may corrupt. Please use the following way to fix
