So im sick of my video card giving me the fritz whenever i run any opengl game, including Counterstrike, Tribes and Legends... so i go into my bios and mess around

Well it seems while I was dinking around I did something to where my computer wont go past proccessor init..

So I need to reset my bios, any ideas on how I should even go about this?

Any insight would be helpful..

thx

There is a jumper somewhere on your mobo that you just switch over and it resets CMOS (BIOS settings). Look in your manual for that or find something online. Really easy thing to do. :)

If you can't find the jumper, remove the CR2032 watch battery from the motherboard and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then power the system up once. Let it POST and power it off (don't load the OS). Put the battery back in and fire it up again. You'll have to reset the system time and the BIOS will have to find your IDE drives again. You'll also have to reset any clock/multiplier settings that aren't default.
