Re: how do i reset bios

You reset the CMOS, by removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes, and then placing it back in. It looks like a watch battery.

......or, short out a jumper on the motherboard. I've done that a few times because of failed OC.

Taking out the battery is better.

Re: how do i reset bios

On my Gigabyte board, there are these pins right next to the CMOS battery. I read the manual and it said that's where the reset jumper was. I figured it's easier to just pull out the jumper that was on pin 1 and short the two pins together, than prying off the battery.
