Use your jumper and move it over a prong to do a hardware reset of your BIOS

This is exactly where it is located on your motherboard

Remove the side panel, locate and remove the CMOS battery. Locate the BIOS configuration jumper for your motherboard (often very close to the battery, refer to your manual for additional information) and move the jumper from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3. After ~5-10 seconds, move the jumper back to the original pins.

If you need an example of what the jumper might look like you can watch this video and many others like it.

It may look something like this, with a small plastic piece over 2 of the 3 prongs

Why are you guys so obsessed with the BIOS lol.

First, try another video source if possible (DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc.). If you have an integrated GPU then pull out your dedicated GPU and give the integrated a try. Also make sure your display is actually working (and the cables are connected properly behind it).

If that doesn't do anything, then remove all HDDs/SDDs. If you're not even seeing BIOS it's time to start removing any unnecessary components.

If it's still not working try pulling ram sticks one stick at a time. Make sure to take a picture as they need to go back into the exact same slots they came from (unless you're already using every slot possible).

If it's still not working it's down to the PSU, CPU, and MB. The PSU you can test with a special tester. The CPU and MB you have no easy way to test.

i srsly doubt windows did anything to bios

Sandpaper, bro.

Thoughts and prayers

also its a ****in ancient machine
maybe its time 2 update

maybe u shouldn't be so wasteful

maybe u should consider the computer's feelings

donate it 2 African children 4 the feels + tax benefits

I mean they don't have electricity but who cares

o wow that is racist, why shouldn't african children get new equipment instead of useless old hand-me-downs? is it b/c they're BLACK? RACIST!

Thanks, HumDumpin: I called my work IT and he suggested the same thing. I reset the jumper to 2/3 waiting 10 secs then back to 1/2 ....still no love.


Should I a.) buy ps/2 keyboard b.) buy cheap video card

put back in cpu. power. one ram stick. connect monitor to built in vid. dont connect hd. turn on.

if u get some life. turn off. connect hd. turn on

AFAIK Microsoft only updates the BIOS on its own products. Why the hell would they update a BIOS on some other brand they do not produce, sell or support? Recipe for disaster.

replace bios battery
