If your PC refuses to boot after changing BIOS settings or tweaking memory speeds, do not worry just yet. Clearing the CMOS is one of the easiest ways to reset your motherboard back to factory default settings and get your system posting again.

To do this, turn off your power supply, unplug the power cable, and locate the small coin cell battery on your motherboard. Remove the battery carefully for a couple of minutes, or locate the clear CMOS jumper pins and short them with a screwdriver to clear the stored memory.

Once you put everything back together and power up, your BIOS will be fully restored to default settings. This quick fix can save you hours of troubleshooting when bad settings lock up your motherboard. Have you ever had to reset your CMOS to recover a system?
