Title: How to access bios?
Post by: Naweo on Mon, 14 July 2014, 16:59:38

Hello.

Motherboard: z77a-g45

I changed my Integrated Graphics from PGI to DVI by mistake and also disabled GT overclocking frequencies. Apparently my monitors are completely blackscreened.

At start, when my graphic card (nvidia gtx 560 ti) monitors were only black untill i reached windows, i tried to fix the problem with my integrated graphics monitor but I only just now realized it might have been because of disabling GY frequncy in overclocking setting.

Is there a way I can set my BIOS settings and OC to default, now that I can use my computer?

Thanks

I have seen different motherboards use F8, F5, Delete, and a couple others.  You could try going to the manufactureres website and checking for a PDF manual.  The info should be in there.

Edit:  Another option is to pull the motherboard battery out for a couple minutes and then put it back in.  That "should" reset the bios to all factory defaults.  Or like my board, there is a button on the motherboard specifically for reseting all bios settings.

There's certain ways to reset your bios/clear cmos depending on your mobo.  Some involve just taking out battery(and unplugging) and doing stuff like hitting the power button to make sure it doesnt have power.  Others involve jumping pins.

I found the CMOS button and held it for 5 seconds after the computer was unplugged. When I put it together, setting only keyboard, mouse and a monitor in alongside power, it just goes on and off all the time without bios errors.

Any solutions?

Thanks.
