Thank fuck my Asus motherboard will automatically restart under factory defaults if it hangs due to an overzealous overclock, etc. Haven't had to touch CMOS pin switch at all.
Thanks very much i overclocked the ram and it kap on beeping when it was turned on lol i thought the whole thing was broke but when i did this it workd thanks for the tutorail :D
my pc wont let me go into the bios at startup it jusy shows a fuzzy screen and carrys on with loading of windows, i have the asus p8p67 deluxe and i was wondering if resetting the cmos will help, or if it will just screw up my bios settings and not let me fix it. or even if it is my motherboard. any idea?!?!?
i need help! i set my bios features in different settings and i change the cpu clock & voltage of my cpu, then when i save&exit, my computer didnt turned on.. what should i do?? HELP ASAP!
@benbenalen It probably reset the fan speed limit too. It'll cool better, but it'll be noisier. Try looking through BIOS for an option to limit fan speed (RPM).
I have Foxconn G31MXP-K and I accidently overclicked it to too high and can't boot into system, I opened up my computer, remove the battery for a while then plug it in agian, everything was resetted, my computer worked again. After everything fine I closed case.
But the problem now is that its a white MSI bootscreen now instead of the normal one. Its going directly from a MSI picture to the login screen. Why? And how do I fix it? Please help me :(
worked like a charm, although i had to leave the jumper in, reboot the computer, *clear all passwords* then turn off the computer and set the jumper back to how it was, and now it starts up without the need of a password :D
@WhiteBeltAcademy trust me your motherboard does have a battery. If it doesnt have jumpers (unlikely your probably just looking in the wrong place...) but you can remove the battery and leave it out for a couple of hours.
@wtchluring I found the battery, but the placing of the battery was a bit awkward (right underneath the video card) I pulled it out and put it back in with success. However, definitely no jumpers. Its a microboard
@WhiteBeltAcademy hmmm strange. Maybe some micro boards do not have them I guess...? Oh well. Check all over the board, on one of my boards the jumper is like 20cm away from the battery.
i just a new dual core refurbished dell with 4 gigs of ram and a pci -e nvida geforce 8600 gt 256 mb card i accidently plugged the monitor into the intergrated vid card but then found out later it goes into the 8600 gt card ever since then my monitor started freezin up then to a black screen on stand by what can i do to fix this? will this work resetting the cmos?
Was it working when you had it plugged into the integrated? If so, the problem is that the BIOS video method is set to onboard video and needs to be set to PCI-express. Reseting the CMOS will NOT help because it'll set the video back to onboard. You can only activate either the dedicated video card or the onboard memory one at a time, not at the same time. If one works, the other wont.
I need help, I attempted to over clock my crappy computer.. and failed when I turned it on it would not shown the display on my monitor, and it after like 5 mins it ran out of power and turned off... i tried both taking out the battery and moving that piece.. it didnt run out of power but it still wouldn't show the display... btw i had my moniter pluged in through the video card... any help?
@Hadi2234 It's the same situation I told the guy above. If you reset the cmos, it resets ALL SETTINGS to DEFAULT. If you have integrated video available on your board THAT'S the default setting, therefore, you must plug the monitor into the integrated video then set the video to PCI-EXPRESS. Now you can plug the monitor back into the video card.
I as trying to fix my audio problem, changed something that made everything go mute. I see this horrible button next to the audio jacks, so using my logic, I assumed it would restart my sound card settings. I press it, restart, then everything doesn't work. Horrible, horrible button. Thanks for posting this video up to explain what it does, I now know what I have to fix. And your voice is absolutely awesome.
coul you please help me i hit the cmos button by a mistake while the pc was running and now when i boot it up it there comes a blue screen with some numbers and words after the (Windows Is Starting) and then it starts all over again and comes up with windows repair :( PLEASE HELP ME !!
@GeForceCountry i have this exact same problem, but it happened when i tried to replace my desktop's graphics card. Nothing at all responds anymore; the keyboard doesn't light up from caps lock, the monitor doesn't get a signal, there's no beep, the "loading" light on the tower stays lit and doesn't flicker, etc.
@RandomlyVenomous Can you tell me how to fix this problem. I was adding a 2 GB RAM replacing 512mb (2 RAM), I tried booting up my computer but my monitor , keyboard nor mouse wouldn't turn on. How you fixed your problem. I'll appreciate it.
My computer will Simply not boot.(happened after adding more ram. Using the old ammount when doing this) The components are fine. (Even the ram). i have a rampage 3, So there are buttons for clearing cmos. When i push it for a while and then push the power button, nothing happens. Please. If you know about any solution, help me. Taking out the battery wont help
@pcworld88 Not fully you can't, you can load defaults but resetting CMOS clears the memory in the BIOS chip and sometimes you can't get into BIOS to do that.
@faguvimtu Haha nope i cant, but i dont think that if the computer doesnt start that mean a problem with the bios i had this problem before and it was the psu
@eteknix oh man,i got a black screen nothing i did this and t worked,i love you (non gay) otherwise i had to buy a whole new mb ,thnak you sooooooooooooooooooo much!!!
i just built a computer with all new parts, hooked it up and nothing happened - not a fan nor a beep. The only signs of life is a green light on the mobo. I tried a different psu and same thing, not a sound. I tried with only one stick of ram in all four sockets - still nothing. What's wrong? Is it the mobo or cpu?
i just build my computer and it wont boot up my video card worked on my friends computer...what is the problem pls check my channel i have a video there so u can see.
i got a problem i overclocked my computer, and when i turn it on it takes a few seconds maybe 2, then nothing shows up on the screen, and it makes liker, beeep, beeeeep and then it restart please help, i cant find the cmos reseting thing ! :( i really need help !!
hey i really need your help when i boot up i get my post screen like normal and i press delete and it says prepare to enter bios but then the screen goes blank and nothing happens at boot up i get 2 beeps and according to my motherboard manual it means cmos settings error i have already tried to reset my cmos and it doesnt resolve it im completely stuck and any ideas would be very very much appreciated, thanks
i have done this remove the jumper reattached a nd also tried battery trick but it didn't work i did when power supply was unplugged do i have to keep the power on while doing this or isn't there any other way to reset bios please help me i dont want to go to a repair shop any suggestions will be helpful thanksssssss
hey i stupidly tried to overclock my computer with out knowing much and messed up i turned up some settings from some ASUS software then the computer froze instantly and after about 1 min i reset it and windows won't run only expressgate (some basic os by ASUS) and system repair did nothing use the ASUS P6T motherboard i reset my CMOS with the pin and it took me to my BIOS and i reset everything but my computer still won't work any ideas in my hardware damaged?
question my dad wanted to upgrade the motherboard or something so when he upgraded it the battery wasnt in the motherboard so now when i try to start the pc its just a black screen and nothing happens... anything i can do?
my computer comes up with disk boot error press enter to boot cd , anyway something like that and i cant turn it on anymore wihout that coming up plz help
hey i just built my new computer and installed everything and then tried to do the rate my system thing and the screen shut off and the fan on the gpu started spinning hella fast and now it wont recognize the vga would resetting cmos fix my problem?
@kalkos It possibly could, but first i'd try reseating the graphics card and make sure that your monitor cable is connected properly and that the pci-express power adapter is plugged in if it has one.
@eteknix i have an xfx mother board and offboard video card and it loads the xfx splash then goes to a blank black screen but if i push the set button on the back of the computer and restart it it brings me to the cmos menu and say cmos checksum bad ive tried restoring defaults and failsafe and it does the same thing?
was playing Lost planet 2, was kinda slow so i decided to use uGuru and make the cpu on turbo mode, the game played smothly but after awhile i got BSOD and rebooted my system and it stops at Verfying DMI pool data, i tried resting the cmos but didnt work, what should i do
Wow! My hard drive wasn't reading, my monitor wouldn't turn on, and no lights were flashing. I was PANICKED. Resetting CMOS fixed it perfectly! Sure I had to skip the boot screen, but how sweet!
I don't have a jumper similar to yours. The closest thing I have is a thin little tan tab. Would this be the same thing? I tried using it and even removing the battery for 2 hours and it doesn't work. (should the computer be on or off, I did it when it was off) My problem is that I turned off USB ports in my bios without making sure my Mother boarder had PS2 plugs. It doesn't so now I'm stuck with a computer that can't use a mouse or keyboard.
@xchosen123 alright found the Bios Config on my motherboard but it only has two prongs and no jumper. I tried using a medal wire to link them but nothing happened. I then took the battery and waited 4 hours. Everything was unpluged including power cable, monitor, and all usb devices. Bios still has not reset and my mouse and keyboard are still rendered useless. Do you know how I can get my two prong Bios Config to work without a jumper?
@xchosen123 NVM I Finally figured it out. The two pronged device was not the BIOS Config, (even though the words "Bios Config" is right beside it) it was the three prong device with the thin tan jumper. But I had to turn the computer on with the jumper over #2 and #3. With the computer turned on like that it takes me straight to the bios with usb activated. Once i told it to active usb normaly and saved it, it then told me to restart the computer with the jumper over #1 and #2
Correction, you don't reset "CMOS", you are rather resetting the sram on the BIOS chip.
When you metion "CMOS" I think you refer to the battery powering the BIOS sram, which is indeed called a CMOS battery, this is named so after the most commonly used design style in modern computers, namely CMOS.
@Maskakoopa Most people including the enthusiast to the novice user will understand the single term of resetting CMOS compared to resetting the bios chip and having a CMOS battery, it just makes things simpler.
hi eteknix, i saw this and tryed it because my desktop pc stays at verifying DMI pool data and then just stays there for hours, some one said to reset cmos, just tryed it and it didnt work, please can you try and tell me whats wrong if you know? ( i just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate from windows vista home basic )
is there any risk of hard reset to ur CMOS ?? bsides the risk of static discharge . im just reseting my CMOS to fix my mouse not able to detect on start ups =S
dude i overclocked my 550 black edition and i put the multilayer at 19x saved settings now its not boating up properly it just keeps restating over and over agen i took the battery out left it overnight unplugged the power sup put it all back together still the same thing????????? it was working fine before can ya help me out mate oh and it dosent have one of those smos thingys
I found it, it was blue, hidden and covered by cards and wires, I managed to pull it out, it fell behind the power supply or what the fuck you call the big, annoying box, I searched for 5 hours for the fucking useless square they for some fucking mental reason put in computers just to fuck them up and ruin the day(s) for customers. I found it. I tried to put it in again, it fell. I have never touched the inside of a computer before, but I detached the big, annoying box. Magically, the fucking
@MagnusRulerHardt ... useless square that only causes frustration and 0.0000000 positivity was GONE. It was fucking gone. I have been searching for 2 days. I have crushed one of my fucking monitors in rage. What the FUCK is BIOS anyway? Why the fuck is there anything called BIOS? Is this how far we have come in technology? We can walk on the moon, buy we can't crush this little square and never ever, EVER think of it again? What the fuck is this square for? WHY is it there? WHY? WHY?
I've taken the battery out for 12 hours, and the power cable and drained the power. I also moved the clear jumper and also the password jumper on my Dell Dim 9100. It didn't work. I know the password, but the keyboard doesn't work when the pass prompt comes up, except for enter and return. It's a Dell USB keyboard. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be great. Message me if you have ideas...
i messed up my bios, all i did to fix it was pull out all plugs --> press and hold power button 5 sec --> pull out battery --> hold power button 5 sec. put it all back together and it works!!
I have two pin as well and my battery would not come out because of the clip.. I pull the clip but it doenst omite out the battery and I dont wanna force too much.. any idea what I can do
Eteknix, please help me. I bought my system from a company (I didn't build it) and I have a GA-MA790X-UD3P motherboard and there are only TWO pins and NO jumper! D=
If you go to Google Images and select "large size", then search for my motherboard, you will see what I mean.
@BadashaZeus I see what you mean, did it not come with a jumper with the accessories? If not, just take the battery out for 5-10 minutes, that will do the same trick :)
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!

@VidKid9 Try resetting CMOS like in the video, if that doesn't work, you may need to run a windows repair on the computer.

hey i just built my new computer and installed everything and then tried to do the rate my system thing and the screen shut off and the fan on the gpu started spinning hella fast and now it wont recognize the vga would resetting cmos fix my problem?

@kalkos It possibly could, but first i'd try reseating the graphics card and make sure that your monitor cable is connected properly and that the pci-express power adapter is plugged in if it has one.

@LadyTennaHarasamma It may do, but personally, it sounds more like a corrupted Windows.

@eteknix i have an xfx mother board and offboard video card and it loads the xfx splash then goes to a blank black screen but if i push the set button on the back of the computer and restart it it brings me to the cmos menu and say cmos checksum bad ive tried restoring defaults and failsafe and it does the same thing?

when you hold down the cmos button do you do this while the power is off?

can this method solve a "Parity Check 2" error at boot up

@moniboy99 Possibly could, but generally that will be a hard drive problem more than motherboard/bios.

Wow! My hard drive wasn't reading, my monitor wouldn't turn on, and no lights were flashing. I was PANICKED. Resetting CMOS fixed it perfectly! Sure I had to skip the boot screen, but how sweet!

I don't have a jumper similar to yours. The closest thing I have is a thin little tan tab. Would this be the same thing? I tried using it and even removing the battery for 2 hours and it doesn't work. (should the computer be on or off, I did it when it was off) My problem is that I turned off USB ports in my bios without making sure my Mother boarder had PS2 plugs. It doesn't so now I'm stuck with a computer that can't use a mouse or keyboard.
xchosen123 1 year ago
@xchosen123 alright found the Bios Config on my motherboard but it only has two prongs and no jumper. I tried using a medal wire to link them but nothing happened. I then took the battery and waited 4 hours. Everything was unpluged including power cable, monitor, and all usb devices. Bios still has not reset and my mouse and keyboard are still rendered useless. Do you know how I can get my two prong Bios Config to work without a jumper?
DP35DP is the code for my MoBo if that helps any
xchosen123 1 year ago
@xchosen123 NVM I Finally figured it out. The two pronged device was not the BIOS Config, (even though the words "Bios Config" is right beside it) it was the three prong device with the thin tan jumper. But I had to turn the computer on with the jumper over #2 and #3. With the computer turned on like that it takes me straight to the bios with usb activated. Once i told it to active usb normaly and saved it, it then told me to restart the computer with the jumper over #1 and #2
xchosen123 1 year ago
Correction, you don't reset "CMOS", you are rather resetting the sram on the BIOS chip.
When you metion "CMOS" I think you refer to the battery powering the BIOS sram, which is indeed called a CMOS battery, this is named so after the most commonly used design style in modern computers, namely CMOS.

@Maskakoopa Most people including the enthusiast to the novice user will understand the single term of resetting CMOS compared to resetting the bios chip and having a CMOS battery, it just makes things simpler.

hi eteknix, i saw this and tryed it because my desktop pc stays at verifying DMI pool data and then just stays there for hours, some one said to reset cmos, just tryed it and it didnt work, please can you try and tell me whats wrong if you know? ( i just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate from windows vista home basic )
vish8895 1 year ago
@vish8895 try doing it again but also taking the cmos battery out for 10 minutes too. This will clear any stored data.

I found it, it was blue, hidden and covered by cards and wires, I managed to pull it out, it fell behind the power supply or what the fuck you call the big, annoying box, I searched for 5 hours for the fucking useless square they for some fucking mental reason put in computers just to fuck them up and ruin the day(s) for customers. I found it. I tried to put it in again, it fell. I have never touched the inside of a computer before, but I detached the big, annoying box. Magically, the fucking

@MagnusRulerHardt ... useless square that only causes frustration and 0.0000000 positivity was GONE. It was fucking gone. I have been searching for 2 days. I have crushed one of my fucking monitors in rage. What the FUCK is BIOS anyway? Why the fuck is there anything called BIOS? Is this how far we have come in technology? We can walk on the moon, buy we can't crush this little square and never ever, EVER think of it again? What the fuck is this square for? WHY is it there? WHY? WHY?

I've taken the battery out for 12 hours, and the power cable and drained the power. I also moved the clear jumper and also the password jumper on my Dell Dim 9100. It didn't work. I know the password, but the keyboard doesn't work when the pass prompt comes up, except for enter and return. It's a Dell USB keyboard. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be great. Message me if you have ideas...

I have two pin as well and my battery would not come out because of the clip.. I pull the clip but it doenst omite out the battery and I dont wanna force too much.. any idea what I can do
vrutin123 1 year ago
@vrutin123 The battery should come out if you push the clip back on the battery holder. If not, buy a jumper from an electronics store.
eteknix 1 year ago
@eteknix Yes, wasnt needed for mines ...
For those, who cant take battery out ... take a screwdriver and touch where the jumper goes.. forr 5 seconds and it should be resetted...
vrutin123 11 months ago
Eteknix, please help me. I bought my system from a company (I didn't build it) and I have a GA-MA790X-UD3P motherboard and there are only TWO pins and NO jumper! D=
If you go to Google Images and select "large size", then search for my motherboard, you will see what I mean.
What shall I do?!
Thanks.
BadashaZeus 1 year ago
@BadashaZeus I see what you mean, did it not come with a jumper with the accessories? If not, just take the battery out for 5-10 minutes, that will do the same trick :)
