How To RESET Your PC BIOS Or Change The CMOS Battery

is it not necessary to remove computer components from mobo before changing

Did not work for me
Dell Inspirion N7010
77PBTN1
I still get the password dialog after pressing F2

after doing this My pc now works! Thank you so much all the other channels where confusing and didn't help.

I did this way because i had power cycling, it went on and off again and again. After i reset that, it went ok but i have no display since i did this. Could you tell me what should I do to fix this problem?❤️

Stupid bald bitch shut your damn mouth and start showing me what to do. Will never watch one of your videos again. Nobody needs to be told how many batteries to keep baka

I tried everything

I was getting a cpu fan error and a code that said b1initualizedlibraryfailed 0x0000001 I replaced the battery and did exactly what you did in this video and it got rid of the fan error but the other code keeps showing. I keep trying to change the date and time in bios but it keeps resetting

I am building my first pc and today it is finally finished. As I was trying to update te bios my PC shuts down because of an overheating CPU. Can someone please tell me I didn't ruin my motherboard 😭

Lately my display and gpu keep turning off when I game. Everything in my pc case sill runs when this happens. I don't know if its the gpu or psu.

I just installed new ram today and im getting a windows failed to start on boot, i took my battery out of my ram for over 5 minutes to reset bios and im still having the same issue not sure what to do

By watching this i destroyed my slot of cmos

after changing my cmos battery now it shows no display

Thank you so much!! I came from another video on troubleshooting a pc that isnt displaying anything on my monitor and this is what fixed it!! My power flickered and i'd been troubleshooting for days as to why my pc was doing this and this is what fixed it! Thank you for such clear videos that really go step by step!!

YOU SAVED MY PC!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MIKE! <3

I was ready to replace my Mainboard when nothing was turning on :0... Luckily I didn't give up.

Actual legend, lesson learnt don't mess around with bios

U are a talkative guy,u know??

I fucking love you Mike my pc was broken and you fixed it. I swear on my soul if u were infront of me I would suck you dry. im straight btw i fucking love you lad I would kiss your bald head rn if u were here

Thank you nigga

I want to seriously thank you for this video. It completely saved me from an epic mental breakdown, and i was able to bypass a faulty windows install!! Thank you!!

My newly built pc having issues booting up. And whenever it does boot. It freezes sometimes. And when i turn it off pc won't totally shut off fans still spinning but my monitor is already off. Anyone having same issue? what could be the cause of this issues?

hi mike . can i change the battery with the computer running ? that way the bios won't need to be set? or is there any other way around resetting the bios with computer off? cheers

Got a gigabyte aorus elite b550, it powered on once then shut off, and now its not powering on

Clear info - thanks.

nice,

i have 365M phantom gaming i installed the m.2 and the pc won't turn on stuck in a asrok screen. What should i do

I dont know if this question will be answered but here goes :
What do i do if only half the mother lights up? ( gigabyte ab 350 gaming a3)
Recently bought a new cpu /sticks of RAM / power supply
It powers on but no signal on the monitor

Recently built a new PC and it would not boot at all. Made sure all connections were correct and tight....still no boot. Removed CMOS battery and waited two minutes, shorted the clear CMOS pins, reinserted CMOS battery and it booted! So even if your installed a brand new motherboard, first thing you should do is follow the procedure to reset the BIOS by clearing CMOS. (And if it still won't boot, replace the CMOS battery with a new one)

Thank you. Your method worked. I thought my GPU was broken

You smart man you, this helped me a lot. I've been troubleshooting for 5hrs :(. Thank you

Thanks a lot Sir !!

Mike, if you have already upgraded the BIOS, won't you have to go back and do that again since the motherboard presumably returns to what it was like coming out of the factory or is it only the custom settings you've made to the BIOS which are returned to factory defaults?

My pc runs for like an hour then crashes coukd thay be bios?
Ive already reinstalled windows and ruled out heat as it's not that hot when it does it

Is it necessary to remove your other motherboard components (like your ram, CPU, etc) before doing this?

My bios resets evertime I plug it off. I'm guessing the battery somehow died

New here, watched this video because ASUS just asked if I had tried resetting the CMOS. New B660-PLUS D4 board, new 2 x 8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 3200MHz memory, new intel i5-12400F 12th GEN CPU. Existing MSI GTX 1050Ti graphics card, existing COOLMAX CUG-950B (model T-950B) - which I tested all pins with a volt meter and they are within tolerance. I put everything together and absolutely nothing. Any advice appreciated! EDIT: Ooops, sorry, I now see that you charge for support which is fully understandable. At least I now know about the battery removal trick. Thank you.

thanks

Thank you so much! Made a newbie mistake. :(

Went to change ram on my computer and it won't turn on. Feels like I fried the whole thing.

mine doesn't have the metal bar, it's surrounded by plastic

Hey,good content. What if it's a laptop with CMOS error 502 . How will I know the jumper in an hp?

For the boys with ASUS TUF GAMING motherboards, you don't need to open your PC to reset your BIOS. Just use their Flashback feature and read manual online for super easy BIOS reset with USB and BIOS button in the back. Maybe other manufacturers have the same useful feature, so you don't need to disassembly your whole PC to reset your BIOS and it's settings.

for me it does the same after swapping the cmos, at the end it blows the fans at max speed pls help. I got 5 beeps = cmos failure

Is that could be good Solutions for green light Problem?

I have to leave the cmoss battery out for 10 minutes right?

it works for me thanks bro

Will it work for my problem? I have an old HP pavilion XT963 Windows XP PC Desktop. I am trying to turn it into a Linux, but the problem is some of the f keys for the bios of the F12 are missing, and it will not boot from both a burned disk and USB some reason, it won't respond. Can anyone help me?
