All manuals for all modern motherboards basically say to use the clear CMOS jumper or button, depending on which it has, however, we have hundreds of examples of proof by way of threads, on this forum alone, that have proven that simply doing so is very often not going to do the trick. Myself, I've probably participated in at least 100 threads here where the ONLY fix was a hard reset by removing the CMOS battery, pressing the power button for ten or twenty seconds and poof, a variety of different complaints resolved.

Besides which, if you actually think that the information in modern motherboard manuals is either accurate or complete, I've got some ocean front property to sell you in Arizona. In fact, just today, a few minutes ago, the manual for an A520M-HDV indicated that the DIMM slots were A1 and B1 while the board itself identifies them as A1 and A2. And that's just an offhand example from today. So, I recommend using the manual as a reference, but don't take it as gospel, because in truth, it often is not. In fact, I've seen a LOT of errors in motherboard manuals including duplicate information that relates to a completely different model of board that the company failed to flag out or change when using their manual template for the different model. Not to mention a whole bunch of Engrish at times.

I'm all for overkill. Doesn't really matter who is right, who is wrong, reset jumper, pull the battery and hit the reset to defaults in bios, do all 3 covers everything. If there's still issues after all that with getting a clean boot into bios, it's hardware level or vbios. If the OS won't load, that's not the boot process, that's a loading process and 8/10 times it's a network driver error bricking the load.
