CMOS

Hi, first time posting here, and if you guys can't help I'll shoot my mobo. Problem: I've been running a stable OC on P8Z77-v LX with i53570k for years now. Since I'm gonna upgrade I wanted to take my CPU Cooler into a new case, place a stock intel on it again and give this pc to my little...

HI, I'm having a problem booting my computer now. I was setting up my second/old gaming PC to use as a small home server. I was trying to install Ubuntu on it. During the entire installation process the computer was INCREDIBLY laggy. Most menus would take 3 seconds to load. So I figure step 1...

Hello. My pc is like 2 years old now. I bought 3200mhz ram and tried enabling the xmp profile #2 which makes it run at it's advertised speed. I've had it running stable for several days with gaming on profile #1 which sets it to 3000mhz. After enabling profile #2 pc didn't even boot into...

I am having issues with my motherboard being in a boot loop and not being able to access BIOS. Every time I have started it, it will run for anywhere from 1 second to 3 minutes until it reboots again. Also, the debug LED turns on for a split second before shutting off, and I can't get the...

Before I ask the question let me say that I tried all Function key to go into BIOS or change boot order to reinstall Windows or even factory reset. And I bought a brand new CMOS battery and replaced the old, but same problem. But in my case the two Function keys that are shown for Boot Options...

Hi guys. So about an hour ago I was gaming, and all of a sudden, a dark green screen with horizontal lines just appeared and at that point, I couldn't do anything. I had tried alt+f4, ctrl+alt+f4, alt+tab and also win+d before realising that the only thing left is to try to shut it off or...

So I was wondering why Windows had trouble picking up the system timer/rtc. It didn't seem to affect anything as far as I could tell. I had just recently bought some energizer ones off of Amazon because the old one was having trouble booting properly. Well: a dying cmos battery can hold a...

Ok, so this is a bit of a doozy, see this has been plaguing my pc for a year now and I have tried pretty much every conventional solution I could find on the interwebs. My time keeps being moved forwards by 2 hours, sometimes by 4, immediately, no this is not time zones messing up before it used...

I just bought an RTX 2060s and looked up how to install it. So I uninstalled my current 1060 drivers, restarted and everything works without the drivers. So I downloaded DDU for a full driver reset so I can install the 2060 clean and before I did anything I booted my PC up into Safe Mode through...

At first it was making a long beep, I took the ram out and put it back. Then the beep stopped, but it still has the Ram LED on. I tried resetting the cmos but my motherboard isn’t resetting it. I took the cmos battery out for about an hour and it’s still not reset. Specs: ASUS tuf x570 gaming...
