Hi everyone,
My PC has been working fine for months since i got it, but when i restarted it yesterday the bios was suddenly (partially) reset. Time and date was OK but custom RAM settings where changed.
I set the bios to my preferences again and tried to replicate the problem -> first reboot...
So long story short after meddling around in BIOS trying to fix one part of the PC the CPU fan won't stay on longer than a few minutes, almost always just a few seconds at the most. I have tried resetting BIOS, pulling the CMOS battery while the PC wasn't plugged in, cleaning the fan, and tried...
So I cloned Windows from a 120Gb SSD onto a 480Gb SSD. I accidentally converted the 480 to a dynamic disk. Now I can't boot from either one and my BIOS take ages to show up. (POST-Screen gets shown for like 20-30 seconds) I have a WIN10 install disk, I can boot to it if I have my 120Gb SSD in...
I bought an old server board from eBay because it had a few features I was interested in. The motherboard is an Arbor Technology MB-i67Q0 board, and the manual is available online at https://www.arbor-technology.com/gl/Product/Pro/Model/MB-i67Q0_1/Download. I tried booting into the BIOS so I...
My motherboard is giving me major issues as of recently. BIOS configurations keep resetting, and it won’t power off unless I switch my PSU off.
This all started after I installed a LED strip kit.
I got them mounted in my case, and plugged them into the RGB Fusion header as instructed. Powered...
So I ordered a Ryzen 5 2600 from Amazon about a week ago which arrived today. I did all the steps of installing the cpu well and booted up my pc. (It didn't work)
It powers up and the fans start spinning but it won't start up, just a black screen and a 'no Input' message popping up.

I have a system that I was gifted from a neighbor that has been giving me some trouble. The original system was; Asus m5a99x R.2, a fx 8350, 12gb of ram, and a gt 610. In this configuration the system booted fine (unless one of the tpu/epu switches was in the wrong spot) I could get into the...
Not sure if this is the right sub.
I'm going to buy a new motherboard and processor and re-connect all of my other hardware.
I'm not confident this will work because the new, blank CMOS will not recognize my SSD, but in theory, it should just boot right? Because the SSD will still have...
Hi so i have been trying to change my ram timings and such because i have amd, but then i do so such as turning the xmp profile the bios or cmos will crash to blackscreen and won't show anything after restart. I have to reset the cmos with the pins on the motherboard. Sry if everything isn't...
Hi and good day!
Maybe it's a good time to buy ASUS stocks.
I disassembled a 2014 ASUS laptop, model A555LP to try reset the CMOS because the turd can not even boot to BIOS menu (screen is dark but HDD spins) after I set some BIOS parameters.
Funny thing is I can't find a battery. I know...
I have an HP Probook 640 laptop which I got from my school (the computer belongs to the school while you go there, but you pay a fee each year and when you're finished it's yours). The computer gets wiped as they give you administrator rights. I've used it for studying ever since, and today I...

I was tinkering with the bios settings and especially os defaults. It was set to Win 7 (I am using Ubuntu 18.04) and I changed it to manual alongside the fast, and secure boot options, that I changed to enable. I saw a text with 'VGA' on it in the settings after I changed to manual, but didn't...

I usually search around here and find solutions to my own problems. This time I have a problem I cannot figure out. My personal custom PC I built had a hiccup today. I went to turn it on just like any other day and when I pressed the case power switch all of the lights lit up as...
Hi, i recently moved to another country and i had my PC shipped here. I powered on my PC and noticed that the fans and leds are working but i cannot get into BIOS. As far as peripherals, my led mouse turns on for about a second before it dies. Also the ethernet port does not seems to be getting...

Hi all,
I need to clear the CMOS on an old Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop. It has no jumper pins, and the CMOS battery is soldered to the board, it does not post.
Can I clear the CMOS by shorting the battery, or do you recommend another way?
Thanks.

I've looked into videos of similar models to my laptop but I seem to find where the cmos battery is either those models or my own. I'm not very keen on disassembling my laptop blind sight of where it is.
My laptop model is the HP Pavilion 15 cw1031
If anyone can help
Thanks
Despite no hardware changes to my Windows 10 PC, during boot up it has started to show this 'error' message. It doesn't say why, but only boots after I press F1 and either discard changes & exit, or save changes & exit.

Hello,
I've managed to get myself a nice and cute MS-DOS laptop from somewhere around the early 90s or late 80s, unfortunately as someone would expect, the CMOS battery is dead, and the worst part? The laptop does not remember CMOS values even if plugged in at all times!!!! And the even worst...
Hi,
I've had this issue for years now but seems to be getting worse.
Basically out of the blue one day my computer stopped turning on normally and begun this loop of booting, lasting anywhere from 2 to 20 seconds and then shutting down and repeating.
The strange thing was that if i let it...
I tried overclock my ram by just changing the MHz in the bios (ab350 Mobo) and it was fine for the day but eventually froze. I went to change it back to it's regular speed and it was fine for most of the day and then froze again. Today I tried turn on my PC and it turns on but there isn't any...
