Resetting M5A97 R2.0

[rupert413]

Hi. I recently purchased a new SSD and want to reset my motherboard to factory settings. How do I do this? My motherboard is the Asus M5A97 R2.0. Thanks.

You may clear the BIOS settings (clearing CMOS) by powering off your PC completely (including turning the PSU OFF), remove the silver battery on your motherboard for 5 seconds or so, then put it back.
Or you may look at your manual and there should be a page that tells you how to clear CMOS by using jumper provided on the motherboard itself.
