    There might be reset jumper on your mobo, look in the manual and try that!

    If you can't find the clear CMOS jumper ,unplug the computer, remove the CMOS battery , and short across the battery holder terminals for a few seconds , this will clear the CMOS settings and it should boot to default settings

    Another way to re-set your BIOS is to use a little program called KillCmos. One word of warning, your virus checker will think it is a virus. However I have used it and it works fine.

    heheh

    there's no virus in this file

    KILLCMOS.COM is a destructive program (F-prot)

    most Anti-virus identify this util as some sort of virus - but it's not..

    It is a destructive program noramlly you wouldn't like to delete your CMOS..

    but under some conditions you would..
