Welcome to SYSOPT.....

Refer to you motherboard manual....

Look on your motherboard (mobo) there should be a "jumper setting" to reset your CMOS. the manual will tell you how to do this and where it is at on your mobo.

Good Luck!

thanks for your reply.

once resetted, what will happen? will it have the default value?
how can i bring back the default manufacturer's setting?

awaiting for your valuable reply. Henry

Wide,

It will restore your mobo to the original manufacture settings. Then you can go into your bios and set your system setting to whatever you want them to be (ie .. if you oc (overclock) your processor and your fsb and your voltage accordingly ect.) Or your can set them to the optimal defaults, ususally at the bottom of your bios screen. Hope this helps and Good Luck.;)
