I was working with the BIOS in my CISNET computer and I wanted to disable the onboard video card since I never use it anyway. After i do that and I restart my computer, it takes me to the first screen with the CISNET Logo and it freezes. I can not enter the BIOS anymore. Is there anyway to restore default BIOS settings from the motherboard or something?
Don't mess around with the bios unless you're sure of what you are doing. Turn off your system. Look on the motherboard for coin sized cell battery. Take it out and leave it out for approx 10-15 seconds. Put the battery back in. Restart pc. That should reset the bios. That is the simpliest option for now. Attached is an image of the battery and how to remove it. Keep me updated. If that doesn't work, we'll move to option 2.
good job knoc! i rememeber screwing up my bios couple times, had to look at the manual for the jumper settings. scary moment! had no idea the battery trick works.
No worries. Yeah. Those jumper settings are a pain and they can lead to more issues. The cmos battery fix is the easiest and always my first option. Its a special IT guy insider trick...haha...
