Generally, after a power cut, I enter the BIOS and then just save & exit without changing anything.
That usually fixes any BIOS glitches.

There should also be a place in your BIOS to "save" your BIOS settings to a profile.
Usually there will be eight slots you can save a BIOS profile in.

Then if the BIOS does get seriously glitched, you can just "load" the profile with your current settings.

I've never owned a Gigabyte board but on ASUS boards, after a power outage, the BIOS splash screen comes up and says: Press F1 to enter Setup (the BIOS). So I do that and at least for ASUS boards, once in the BIOS I just press F10 to Save & Exit.

And then everything is back to normal.
