| 1376045 | 2014-05-27 22:45:00 | See if something similar to this is on the mobo. Turn it off first / unplug it Move the jumper leave it there for 5-10mins. Then put it back to where it was Then reconnect it then see if you can get into the BIOS. If you can you'll have to reconfigure the BIOS settings |

| 1376049 | 2014-05-27 23:09:00 | nope ~ no jumpers and has this button ~ how do I use it 5741 push the button, the shiny red button . Be carefull not to erase history www.youtube.com :waughh: Seriously tho, turn off the PC, push the button or turn off pc, unplug power supply cable, remove the battery next to the button. Go make a cupa tea , come back & you should be all erased. Remember to reset the time & date !!! |
