[SOLVED] Motherboard Bios help

[Viesseiv]

I need help resetting my bios as my monitor cannot reach a display. I can't locate the battery on my Motherboard to reset it. I have some images where maybe someone can help me. I thought it might be behind the fan, but that would be a stupid place to put the battery?

Your video card is covering it. It's between the pci-e ports.

How do I go about removing the video card?

I made changes to my BIOS which I regret and now my monitor cannot find a signal. It tries to but then it says no signal. I only had this problem when I first got my pc and after half an hour it just randomly found a signal. I’ve removed the motherboard battery for 3 mins then put it back in but it hasn’t seemed to make a difference. Any suggestions?

I changed some settings in my BIOS to safe startup and turning off some other setting so that I had only one setting and without legacy mode. My monitor will not display a signal after this. I’ve taken the battery out of the motherboard for 3 mins but it hasn’t fixed this issue.

I also put on some key map or something which is what it was asking for to enable safe boot mode.

Do you know where the chips are so that I can reset the bios with a screwdriver or paper clip? I tried removing the battery but it didn’t fix my issue

Look in the boards manual for the bios reset procedure. Hopefully it came with one as online manuals for those recycled Chinese boards are hard to find to non existent.

I cannot locate the clear cmos jumpers on my motherboard to reset my bios. I’ve removed the battery. Is it possible my motherboard doesn’t have clear cmos jumpers?

Make and model motherboard?

Go to the applicable manufacturer's website and find the motherboard's User Guide/Manual.

You should be able to find the needed information in the User Guide/Manual.

The motherboard's layout diagram should show the location.

Just put that coin battery upside down for a few seconds, that will clear your CMOS. Don't forget to place it upside upwards when done.
