Resetting BIOS to default values

 

1. Power off the computer but DO NOT unplug the power cord (system under S5/ Soft-off mode).

2. Use a jumper cap to short JBAT1 for about 5-10 seconds.

3. Remove the jumper cap from JBAT1.

4. Power on the computer.

There will either be a button on the board or a jumper that you can short to clear the CMOS. You can find out from the motherboard manual located here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-TOMAHAWK#down-manual

Popping battery is IMO best way. You will need to go for board with jumper anyway. Switch or button would be better, but can also cause issues. Like pressing it accidentally when re-routing cables.
