Reset Your Motherboard

  • CMOS Battery Pull: This is the lightest method. Simply pull the CMOS, coin-sized battery, and wait ten minutes. This should reset your motherboard to factory settings.

  • Jumper Reset: The jumper reset method simply requires that you apply a jumper to the specially designated two or three-pin connector on your motherboard. Once located, just apply the jumper gently over the two pins and leave it there for ten minutes. Make sure you’re disconnected from the power source when you use a jumper.
  • Deep Reset: This is the method that actually fixed my problem. Simply pull the CMOS battery and put the jumper over the designated portion of the motherboard, gently. Then let it drain away any residual power overnight. I highly recommend this particular method.
