Try to clear CMOS with a button on your motherboard (it will restore all BIOS setting to default)

plain oracle May 25, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

Do I gotta open the pc for this

#

I don’t think so I found a button on it

#

It says bios

gusty wraith May 25, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

yep, its directly on your motherboard.
Some motherboards also have it on the backplate (IO shield area

plain oracle May 25, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

Do I have to open my pc to use it

gusty wraith May 25, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

Snap a quick pic so i can confirm, just to be sur

gusty wraith May 25, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

plain oracle May 25, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

gusty wraith May 25, 2024, 2:50 AM

#

Is there any text near it ? cant see from the photo, shitty quality

plain oracle May 25, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

gusty wraith Is there any text near it ? cant see from the photo, shitty quality

Yeah it says bios flbk

gusty wraith May 25, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

ye, thats not it, thats for flashing BIOS

#

then you will need to open the pc

#

btw out of curiosity, is the prebuilt brand new ? (recently relesed parts ?) Bcs from the IO of MB it looks ancient with output ports

plain oracle May 25, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

No I’ve had it for like 2-3 years

gusty wraith May 25, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

okay. Then the button will be on the MB itself.
It will be branded clr_cmos

plain oracle May 25, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

Ok I’m gonna do that tmrw because it’s late

#
