I have the same bios as yours but it is stuck on the page where it says phoenix bios . It is stuck at memory testing and the computer is not booting can you help?
Hi, great video. Sorry, I have a quick question: in order to reset the CMOS, do you keep the jumper cable connected to the extreme right side pins or after a while do you reposition them to the left?
It depends on the motherboard. When you put the jumper in the second position and start the computer up, some computer will restart and give you a message the BIOS was reset. Others will reset the BIOS and just give you a black screen and you need to switch the computer off, remove the jumper and start the computer up again. Have a look at your motherboard manual for confirmation.
Please note that without CMOS battery, when the computer shuts off, all BIOS settings will be returned to factory defaults, leading to the error message every time the computer turns on stating that you have to set date and time.
This is the best video out there,, hands down. Ok, I have 3 long beeps 2 short beeps. I have a cmos reset button on the motherboard. Does this work as the jumpers? I unplugged it, pulled the batter for 5 minutes and pushed the reset button on the motherboard and voila. This is a great video. Liked and subscribed.
My procedure it critically different than in this video! My ASUS Motherboard manual has me turn off and unplug the power cord before moving the jumper. Wait 5-10 seconds. Move the jumper back, then plug in the PC and turn it on.
Taking out the CMOS battery out won't effect the laptop battery. However, if you don't remove the laptop battery it may continue to keep powering the laptop depending on the laptop.
Great video! I learnt a lot. 👍 Will this work with Intel NUC Skull Canyon? Intel NUC Mini PC i7-8705G with RX Vega M GL Graphics My PC failed a BIOS update last night and I'm losing sleep. Lol.
Hey man quick question? I just upgraded from the Ryzen 5 3600 to the 3700x, and everything seems to be fine and working. I click on SYSTEM and it shows I now have the 3700x as my cpu, but when I try to enable All cores and when I go into the Task manager, still says 3700x but under CPU its still showing 6 cores and 12 threads from my 3600? Any ideas as to why this is, and how to fix it? Please Help. And Thanks
Mine what it does, displays : Error 0211: keyboard not found Error 0162: Setup data integrity check failure Error 0175: System Security - Security data corrupted What is it that must be done? Because I did try your method but still.
Try resetting the BIOS back to defaults and updating it. Have a look at this article. support.lenovo.com/au/en/solutions/ht081068-system-displays-a-post-error-message-0175-upon-next-system-reboot-after-setting-a-new-bios-password-thinkcentre-m92z
wow big help,.....am taking PC fundamental class and instructor dose not really show step by step.........so this video is great need more out there that walk you through a step by step.thanks
Is the computer just switching off randomly or restarting? It may be the capacitors if it keeps randomly restarting. If it is switching off it may be the power supply.
In this case, your motherboard most likely just needs the two pins jumped in order to reset the settings. Refer to your motherboard manual for more information.
This was a great video. Got a problem though. I have the BIOSTAR A320MH motherboard. A while ago, I accidently increased the CPU clock too high and it wouldn't boot. After placing the jumper on the second and third pins, the settings were reset and the computer worked fine. However, after clearing everything, I tried to put the jumper back onto the first and second pin (which is what BIOSTAR says you should do) and the computer would not boot. Put the jumper cap back to the second and third slot, and the CMOS was cleared, and it booted again. Do you know why this is? The first and second pins are the "normal" ones according to the motherboard label FYI. Weirdly enough though, the picture they use for the overview page has the jumper on the second and third pins.
That is interesting. Some motherboards when they are on certain pins the BIOS will be cleared, however the computer will not start up. I am guessing that for normal operation that particularly motherboard requires the jumper to be in the second position.
Why my fbs 1333 mother board CTL CMOS possition in 2-3 pin and got black screen.. When i see your video i think thiers a problem with my pin possition. So i back it into 1-2 and switch it on but no power at all.. And when i back to 2-3 thier a power light and fans but always Black screen..
That is strange. Did you attempt to do a BIOS upgrade that failed? You could try starting the computer up with no-jumper, that should be the same as position 1-2. I would suggest trying changing your video card. Maybe that has something to do with it. Are you getting a single start up beep when the jumper is not in place or in position 1-2?
I think some mainboard need to turn on the computer during clear CMOS，some mainboard does not need to turn on the computer , just need to move the jumper to another position , then wait a moment（In general ，some need to wait 10 seconds ，some need to wait 5 minutes），then move the jumper to original position ， then turn on your computer ， at this time . You have clear the CMOS. If so, please tell me, thank you.
Your motherboard is a little confusing. The manual is available from the following link. download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-a320m-s2h_e_v3.pdf On page 4 it has the diagram of the motherboard where I can see the four pins you are talking about. These four pins are not all the CMOS pins. The top two you can see the arrow for CI. The bottom two you can see CLR_CMOS. It is easy to miss the arrow for the top two being CI and thus think all four are CMOS pins. If you go to page 19 it explains 15) CI (Chassis Intrusion Header) and 16) CLR_CMOS (Clear CMOS Jumper). So the pins you want are the two closest to the edge of the motherboard.
This motherboard has one jumper on it. You just need to short this one to clear the CMOS. If you have a look at the motherboard diagram in the manual it will show you where to find it. download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-h110m-h(ddr3)_e.pdf
Not sure what you are doing. If you update your BIOS windows should still boot o.k if everything goes fine. If you reset your BIOS, Windows should still boot. However, if there are settings in the BIOS Windows needs to boot it may not. Settings that effect Window are things like hard disk controller set to AHCI, SATA, RAID etc. Also, if you have Bitlocker you will have problems.

Thinks like fast booting and other settings can make it difficult to get into the setup during boot up. Since your computer runs UEFI, I would boot into Windows. Once in Windows, hold the shift key down and select reset. This will give you a menu that will have an option to boot into UEFI when the computer is restarted. This will allow you to get into the setup. Then you can change some settings to make it easier in the future.

Please note that without CMOS battery, when the computer shuts off, all BIOS settings will be returned to factory defaults, leading to the error message every time the computer turns on stating that you have to set date and time.
The exception to this is that modern computer store the settings in flash so does not require power. Thus, only the date and time is affected.

It may be different for some motherboard. Hope it worked for you.
Will this method clear the admin password in the bios? thank you in advance
Depending on your motherboard the process may be slightly different. But it will clear the admin password.
Great video, it takes lots of courage and efforts to make such contents.

Od if I take the main battery out also have to take the CMOS battery out or will the main battery be okay

Good video, however must I flash a new bios to accomplish the act?
Flashing the BIOS updates the BIOS but keeps all the old settings. Clearing the CMOS will clear all the settings.
@@itfreetraining Thanks for your help and Time!!
Where is that jumper piece?
It should be there, otherwise maybe it was removed. If it not on the motherboard, you can always buy one or use one for another motherboard.
I already have replaced the battery but it's still the same error.
What is the error? Most likely the settings are in flash and won't change when the battery is removed, or it is an error message relating to hardware.
CMOS reset button do the same thing as the jumper?
This, if your computer has this, the reset CMOS button will achieve the same effect.
Mine what it does, displays :
Error 0211: keyboard not found
Error 0162: Setup data integrity check failure
Error 0175: System Security - Security data corrupted

My pc turns off automatically and keep restrating; sometimes it shows previous overclocking had failure.
What can i do?
Is the computer just switching off randomly or restarting? It may be the capacitors if it keeps randomly restarting. If it is switching off it may be the power supply.
new to debugging motherboard codes. I have a 'd3' code on a asus board, im going to try this since it sounds like a great place to start :)
What is there's no jumper, just the 2 pins?
In this case, your motherboard most likely just needs the two pins jumped in order to reset the settings. Refer to your motherboard manual for more information.
when remove battary CPU full setting reset?
No, it does not reset the CPU.
