Resetting CMOS

:one: Shut down your PC and unplug the power cord from the wall.
:two: Locate the CMOS battery (see the image below). On some motherboards, you may have to remove the graphics card in order to access it.
:three: Remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard by pressing down on the clip and pulling the battery out.
:four: Hold down the case power button for three seconds while your PC is unplugged.
:five: Install the CMOS battery back into the motherboard and plug the power cord back into the wall.
:six: Plug in and turn on your PC.

A video guide is also available below

So it could be the cmos

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

It could be the RAM but this is a step

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

iron sundial So it could be the cmos

Its not the cmos at fault but this is just resetting the BIOS

#

to get rid of any potential weird wacky stuff

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

Oh okie

#

I mean I got into the bios

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

Oh

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

And it looked like it was registering the ram

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

So it works?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

But then I closed it and then the pc was not liking that

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

Reset the CMOS

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

It’s out

#

I’m gonna cook dinner now

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

Brill

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

I’m just trynna sell this pc 😂

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

I don't recommend eating the battery

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

So luckily I didn’t sell it before doing this

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

Eating the battery is quite toxic

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

yeah I don't recommend it for dinner

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

Gotta enjoy abit of lithium

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

Lunch maybe kkekk

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

or maybe as a quick protein snack

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

If it can power a car it can power me

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

I will try be here when you come back

#

hopefully we get this back on track 😮

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

Yhopefully

#

Like I say when I changed the ram the first time this never happened

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

Again, I don't think anything is broken, just gotta do some tinkering

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

tinkering to me is putting a hammer through it

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

😬 nononono

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

Ik not too I’m trynna get money for the misses’s holiday

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

@blazing silo okie it’s not beeping

#

Now next problem is I can’t connect it 😂🥺

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

Connect what sorry?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

The monitor

#

It’s registering no display when I plug into the gpu

#

But it has an Intergrated graphics

#

So I think it’s running that

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

Plug it in to the GPU?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

No hdmi

#

Luckily I got hdmi to vga

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

With IGPU what happens?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

Idk yet

#

I ain’t used it

#

I ain’t got hdmi port for it

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

Okay

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

It’s not registering it

#

So now I’m in a spot

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Use only one ram stick

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

How would that change

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Try it

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

1 min

#

And it was just working

#

Like before I reset the bios

#

Well semi working

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

blazing silo Try it

Didn’t work

#

I think it’s the cable

#

It don’t like trying to put dvi into a hdmi lead

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

Don't do splitters

#

just do direct

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

Im gonna go pick up a vga

#

Bro I ain’t got one lieing around I threw it away

#

Cause I had to use splitters for the new pc

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

Why?

#

I also don't think it is the cable to be fair, since it was just working.

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

No the graphics card was working

#

And that was running hdmi to hdmi

#

I never had a problem with Intergrated when I used it at first

#

Only thing I can get rn is a vga to dvi

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

run out to your local tesco and get a nice hdmi cable

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

delicate lodge run out to your local tesco and get a nice hdmi cable

Can’t use hdmi cable

#

Intergrated graphics don’t have hdmi ports

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

Yeah they do#

#

Mine even has a Display port

#

But maybe your motherboard doesn't have it

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

Mine must not

#

Anyway I’m gonna go grab a dvi I just got one off Currys

#

Says I can go collect it now so just gonna wait for the confirmation

#

So we shall seee soon

#

@blazing silo last question for you will any kettle lead work on a psu as I threw the old one away before thinking and I’m selling the pc to someone

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 6:12 PM

#

iron sundial <@950090695564210226> last question for you will any kettle lead work on a psu a...

Use the one you were using to get rid of any potential issues

#

but generally no it should be ok

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 6:12 PM

#

blazing silo Use the one you were using to get rid of any potential issues

I’m going too for me

#

I’m just saying I got a new pc

#

And that’s my new pcs lead 😂

#

So I kinda want to keep it with it

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

@blazing silo it don’t work

#

Taking that out and putting it back in has fucked my pc up

#

So looking like a scrapper

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

Ouch, maybe you did something that damaged it physically

#

take a looksie around

#

Maybe the RAM isn't in properly

#

Maybe you put it in the wrong slot

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

I took 1 slot out

#

The only thing that changed was that little 10p battery thong

#

Thing

#

I took it out put it back in and now it’s broke

#

Like the pc powers up

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

I have no clue

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

is it fitted back in correctly

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

Wym

#

It only goes one way

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

you would be surprised

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

It’s in the right way around

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

Did you click it in properly?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

It’s just permenantly do a reset

#

It’s not coming out or rattling

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

It wouldn't

#

but it requires a bit of force

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

I heard it click

#

It’s in

#

But yh the pc is fucked

#

Now it’s permanently resetting

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

Anything showing on screen?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

The display ain’t working

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

#

pcie power?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

Huh?

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

Your GPU needs to be plugged in?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

No?

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

Or is it one without a connector

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

It’s never been plugged in

#

It don’t need connector

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

That looks like a connector

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

Watch the video

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

take a better picture

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

You can see the cpu turning off

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

I knoe

#

but that could be alot of things

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

blazing silo That looks like a connector

Yes on the board maybe

#

But Ik the graphics card works

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

That NEEDS a connector

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

I’ve used it for 8 years

#

No it don’t

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

If its there it needs it

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

It’s registered it for years

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

Don't matter, have you been using the IGPU?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

No

#

I’ve been using the 1050to

#

1050ti

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

Let me troubleshoot it

#

take a photo

#

I want to see if there is a connector there

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

Bro my camera is fucked

#

Right I’m not arsed about the gpu rn

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

yeah that does look like the GPU needs a connector

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

What I’m bothered about is the full computer is not working

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

The GPU not having a power connector can cause this???

#

Thats why we are troubleshooting the obvious

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

Okie listen

#

This computer

#

Has worked for 8 years

#

Once I changed the ram

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Computers can do wacky things, That can be the problem its not working now

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

It did the beeping

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

We still need to do the basics

#

that isn't plugged in

#

plug it in

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

I can’t

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Why?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

My 1050 does not come with a connector

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Thats what we were trying to say

#

can I have a better look

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Right

#

Can we fix the problem at hand

#

If I took the gpu out

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

Take it out then

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

This problem would still be happening

#

Because it’s not running off the gpu

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

Doesn't matter, its not got power

#

it can cause the whole computer to not even power on

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

It’s running of the i gpu as that is it’s standard

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

We are only trying to help

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

o can promise you now

#

But your not listening

#

My gpu does not require a connector

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

Can we have a better look please

#

It looks like a connector

#

I want to see if it is

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

You mean the empty port?

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

You're having issues with your computer, we need to cover the basics before we go more in-depth

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

that's what Accent is trying to do

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

Does that look like a connector to you? its hard to see from that angle

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

A connector or some weird ass cut out

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

#

It’s just a cut out

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

Ok, atleast we know now.

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

The problem is not the gpu

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

I never said it was.

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

It’s that the computer is now restarting watch

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:20 PM

#

I am aware

#

Move the RAM to the other slot

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:20 PM

#

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:20 PM

#

I know the issue at hand I was only trying to cover the basics.

#

From the video I couldn't see the connector correctly, and I wanted a better understanding.

#

Now we know its okay, move the RAM to the other slot and see if behaviour changes.

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

Now it’s beeping again

elder estuaryBOT Jan 15, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @iron sundial, you levelled up to 8! :tada:

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

What beeps?

#

How many long how many short

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

The first video

#

It’s the first videos beeps again

#

So the ram slot is fucked?

#

On one Atleast

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

No

#

I am not too sure yet

#

Its very difficult to say

#

I couldn't hear anything from the video, don't know why

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

Well why would 1 ram slot restart my pc and the other one just do a loud ass beep

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

The reasons are endless,

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

I don’t like endless

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

I can't hear to beeps, what are they?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

3 long beeps

#

Then no beep

#

Keyboard ain’t turned on

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:25 PM

It’ says ez debug led

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

Thats probably GPU

#

Check it for me with the text on the side

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

DRAM AND CPU are on

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

Do you have another stick of RAM?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

Vga and boot are off

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

blazing silo Do you have another stick of RAM?

Yes

#

The ones I took out the pc

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

Swap it out

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

I want them for my new pc

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

Try.

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

If they work, then you know its a dodgy stick

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

*dodgy ram can cause this behaviour

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

What’s front what’s back I can’t remember

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

match the notches up

#

there will be a notch along the bottom pins

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

Okie no beep

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

Works?

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

any image?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

No internal graphics

#

Must still be running off the gpu

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

Do the GPU

#

Yeah it does do it automatically off the GPU iirc

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

yeah if there is a GPU fitted, it will automatically want to use that

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

SYs no cable is connected

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

Restart the PC with the GPU connected

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

Would help if I used the ring tone

#

Right

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

The what? kek

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Nope the cable don’t work

#

And it works fine on the other pc

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Any lights on the PC?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Still getting no display

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Those ezdebug stuff

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Yh VGA

#

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

Where was the CMOS battery? was it underneath the GPU? If so make sure the GPU is correctly seated aswell

#

if you had to remove it

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

I didn’t remove it

#

It was near it not under it

delicate lodge Jan 15, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

Ah alright, some mobos have it underneath it

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

Guess this pc is dead

#

Unless someone can fix it but meh

#

Seems to power up okie and run it all

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

Remove the GPU

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

Just no power

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

you say you have an IGPU?

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

I’ll have to get a screw driver

#

Yh

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

okie dokie we can do this

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

Do I have to remove the gpu

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

Yea

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

pepehypers

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

What should I do now

#

And as I said

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

Put the GPU back in

#

Don't need to screw it in

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

Okie

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

Just want to see if it works

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

And why not?

#

Oh

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

If it doesn't its a bit of a pain

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

Okie and now

#

I’m still on that same screen

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

LES GO!

#

Ok, press f2

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

60£ for that ram

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

Its more or less £30 now

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

Nope

#

Now constantly restarting again

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

Oh huh

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

It worked fine until I changed the ram the first time

#

I should have just not changed it

blazing silo Jan 15, 2024, 8:51 PM

#

But the hdd don’t boot no more

#

The ssd foes

#

But I need to access the boot menu

#

Which currently I can’t even do

#

If I can’t do that I’m gonna be honest I’m putting my foot through this shit thing

#

I doubt thats the issue but you can disconnect the HDD

iron sundial Jan 15, 2024, 8:57 PM

#

No

#

So basically

#

Cause it tried booting of hdd

#

It resets constantly

#

Until I select the other boot drive

#

But I can’t even get on boot menu

#

Do it makes no difference

#

It’s fucked clearly

#

It’s fine you tried

#

Idk what happened between me changing the ram

#

But clearly it broke it so it’s my own fault

#

Just goes to show don’t change ram

#

Just gotta be incredibly careful with these things

#

RAM is one of those things that are normally the easiest to do once you know how

#

but faulty modules/sticks can throw spanners in the mix, gotta make sure its the correct DDR version too, DDR5 won't fit into DDR4 for example as the notches are in different places

#

#
