does the MB have a button for reset

 

[IntMD]

Either press the 'Reset CMOS' button if there is one or take out the motherboard battery for a little bit then put it back in. That should reset the BIOS to defaults.

It's a small circle silver metallic battery thingy. What's your motherboard?

[IntMD]

There may or may not be one. Have a look in the manual for your motherboard. If you cannot obviously see one, there might not be one (they usually say 'reset CMOS' or something similar) and you will have to remove the battery instead leave it for a little while and then put the battery back in

Yes. It'll just reset the settings to factory default (It's the second step in troubleshooting hardware*).

 

 

*The first is to make sure everything is plugged in correctly.

Yes it is perfectly safe. You just have to re-enter date and time again.

Unplug your computer before you take the battery out. Or do as your manual says in the image.

Look up a couple of posts to the image I copied from the manual for your motherboard. You can do that.

• Open your motherboard instruction manual.
• Look at the contents page.
• Go the section about clearing the CMOS (might be page 21 depending on the language it is in). 
• Get a paperclip or something similar made of metal
• Touch the paperclip against where it says for 5-10 seconds
• Your CMOS should be reset

I've got a similar issue right now, any help would be appreciated. I was  tweaking my bios to try to overclock my cpu. but for some strange reason i cannot reset my bios. I have gone into the bios screen and reset it back to default settings, I have cleared my cmos, and i have pulled out the cmos battery. when i boot, the bios is set at default settings, however once I finish booting into windows it still shows the overclock, and crashes if i try to open any aplications. 

 

I have even tried adjusting the settings to non-default as well and no luck

 

could this be a issue with the mobo, or the cpu?

 

im running an amd fx-6200 and a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3

 

the mobo supports dual bios so i dont understand why it is not working.

 

EDIT: it appears that unplugging my hdd  fixed the issue. not sure why that worked but ok
