  • How come i cant find my jumper o.o

  • @AnonymousKev your wearing it .....

  • do you do this with the computer switched on or off? and if you have 2 jumpers the one next to the battery or both ? lol

  • omg thanks so much you have a very great video i didnt know what to do. thank god for smart people. thanks again

  • @exalented no problem, glad it helped :)

  • Great video. Sadly it didn't help me. I moved the chip, moved it back and now the motherboard wont boot/display anything. Sadness = Me.

  • Thanks Mate!

  • ah, thanks! :D

  • Same as the guy below me said. I was being a dumbass and touched some settings I shouldn't have and well... THANK YOU!

  • Good sir. You have, as they say, saved one's bacon, and for that I am very grateful cause I love me some bacon.

  • as stated in the top comments it is clubbed to death by rob dougan

  • 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.

  • you sound like David Beckham 

  • thank you good sir may a squadren of vaginas find thier way to your crotch before the days end

  • this video saved my a**, thanks a lot for posting it :)

  • Great vid, thanks for the info.

  • Yo dude I left it off too long I think and now I'm getting errors from AVG that my system time is wrong when it right??

  • @xGIBRALTERx have you tried reinstalling avg, Usually reinstalling a program could fix any errors you might have.

  • @GhostGamer92 oh, no it didnt work. i just set the time in sync with the bios and it worked. re-installing will do nothing.

  • Didn't know Beckham was into computers?

    Anyway nice vid.

  • what if i dont have 3 pin cmos and that shit over that pins , i have 2 pin cmos , and yellow shit over it?

  • @joja93x no yellow shit right xD man i am in deep shit

  • U ARE THE BOSS, IT WAS SO EASY, took less than 5 minutes

    u are my lord and saviour

  • if i didnt found it?

  • nice city, the battery is the city hall or the stadium??

  • 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!

  • Saved my life.

  • Thanks a lot. I was beginnig to worry. Cheers

  • thanks

  • I need help re setting my OptiPlex GX 400 please help

  • thanks man

  • I just did this, as soon as i turn my computer on, why is the fan making so much noise? please help.

  • @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.

  • eeem its 2complicated for me =( T_T

    =/

  • THANKS!! 

  • my jumper is on the other side of motherboard

  • Thanks, was helpful.

  • @etiknix

    Well, Ive fixed it now! Thank you sooo much!

    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 :(

  • I overclocked a little too high :/

    Ill try this when I get to my PC, really hopes this works. I only get bluescreen when trying to log on.

  • 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

  • i keep on forgetting the name of this song

  • @J47F Clubbed to death

  • @J47F clubbed to death (kurayamino variation) - rob dougan

  • oh men your my savior thnx man...you probably saved a lost of cash for me and thnx again

  • Comment removed

  • ok i removed the batter, shorted it out, tried clearing it in UBCD4WIN and it still has a password, its a phoenix bios on a frujitsu. any ideas?

  • @Antimalwaregeek Yes dude. Phoenix BIOS default password should be "phoenix". Hope I helped. ^^

  • my motherboard doesnt have a battery or a jumper but it does have cmos pins, how do I short it to reset it?

  • @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.

  • @WhiteBeltAcademy No i said I found the battery, But it was placed right next to the PCI-E Slot so my video card was covering it.

  • My pc wont post and then it did and now it stopped again... all i did was set the date and save and reset

  • 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.

  • didnt realise howold my pc motherboard was till i just cracked it open and theres no cmos jumper

  • Thanks :)

  • 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.

  • I don't have that pin thingy nor buttons but just the battery.

  • So shud I do this wen the comp is on or off

  • @KINGhotaru11 off ofcause

  • 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 !!

  • @Stebbzi97 ddi you get the problem fixed

  • great vid, ty.  Excellent choice in music

  • my pc wont boot and no any "beep" sound after i turned it on. this happen after i tried to overclock my CPU. do i need to reset the CMOS?

  • @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.

  • pls i need help when i turn on my pc shows me an black screen why? but before i did update my BIOS so what happen? please help :(

  • great music

  • i dont  understand if the pc is turn on

  • Thanks, nice simple video

  • @NgSxDropShotz glad it helped man :)

  • @eteknix hell yah it's help me a lot i'd already did my it's working perfectly no more blue screan

  • my bios settings are completley locked to prevent overclocking would doing this unlock it? thanks

  • 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

  • I had accidentally overclocked my new processor too much, and my computer wouldn't even display anything, it would just be black. Thank you so much.

  • Hey what motherboard was that? :)

  • @michel4ify Just turned off is fine then swap the pins, put it back and then turn back on :)

  • but i could reset the cmos from the bios setup,so what's the use?

  • @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.

  • @eteknix thanks,another thing my mobo doesn't have a jumper can i borrow one from the hard drive?

  • @eteknix the cmos battery removal doesn't clear the bios chip but a chip which holds the setting

  • @pcworld88 What if your computer does not power on at all? Can you reset it from the bios setup then?

  • @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

  • The song is rob dougan clubbed to death. Karimunyaro remix

  • what's the name of the song at start?

  • @Alexandrius90 Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

  • Do this when pc is not powered, coerrect?

  • @theMasterJoe72 That's correct :)

    Andy

  • 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

  • Do you have to do this al when the pc's power is enable?

  • Gonna try this! I tried to overclock my PC for the first time, but now im not able to start my pc anymore =//, hopefully this works

  • 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?

  • thank you

  • 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

  • @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.

    Andy

  • ah ok, the comp boots up eventually, but i keep gotta turn it on and off several times

  • my computer wont boot up properly. It jst stays at the windows logo. Would this resolve the ;problem?

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

    Andy

  • @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

  • @fuclcjewtube Tried taking the CMOS battery out for 10 minutes too?

    Andy

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

  • @Filo011 Yes, to ease the worry, you can unplug from the PSU too.

    Andy

  • Omfg you saved my ass. got manufaturer logo but bios would not boot. TY VERY MUCH. had to unplug some hdds too

  • @BroknSircut No problem, glad it helped :)

    Andy

  • okay i just did this.. simply changed the jumper and changed it back and now my computer won't power on!!!!!!

  • @nolabush25 Did you try unplugging the power supply cord? sometimes this helps!

    Andy

  • 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.

    Andy

  • 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?

    DP35DP is the code for my MoBo if that helps any

  • @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 )

  • @vish8895 try doing it again but also taking the cmos battery out for 10 minutes too. This will clear any stored data.

  • 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

  • Thnaks for the information.

  • THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

  • 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

  • do i have to turn on my computer while doing this?

  • @chikaidze

    yes dude :)

  • thank you very much

    could you tell how the font at the beginning is called?

    Thanks

  • I unlocked two cores on my Phenom II and it was uber unstable, so I ended up having to do this.

    Thanks a bunch!

  • hey man whats the song?????

  • 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?

  • Thank u very much...!! :)

  • Is it always yellow? I can't find anything even close to similar on my motherboard.

  • when u do this its normal to loss time and date?

  • hello again i got again the problem i did it 5 times and it wont work i dont have that button what now?

  • 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!!

  • THank you Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    it made me nervous in fixing my computer because

    i messed up my bios

    and I had hard time looking for the jumper..

    I tried to remove the battery for about 20mins

    but it did not help

    and at last I found the jumpers! LOL!! :)

    THANKS!!

    5/5

  • @rcjp03 no problem, glad i could help. Be sure to subscribe :)

  • @eteknix done :) and I rated 5/5

    it took me 5hrs to discover on how to fix my pc. LMAO haha :D thanks again

  • hey whats this song called?

  • @penguingt Clubbed to death by Rob Douggan

  • 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 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 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...

  • 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 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 :)

  • thanks. been looking for this tutorial
