you actually saved my PC, i have a ASRock Pro3 Gen3, it suddenly gave me a BSOD + didn't boot (it would frezze on boot, with a black screen with a frozen cursor). i changed the battery, resetted the CMOS like you told and voila, everything works now. i was ready to buy a new computer but this saved the current one :) thanks for the video!! peace
guys some of you have this problem? i didn't try the clear cmos but i have a problem, for example i put 2133mhz ram speed, then i enter to windows 10 and in task manager shows a lower amount of mhz and it is the same with other memory speed.
This is the best working method, i fucked up the settings in bios, just change the battery on the motherboard. I had a black screen in around 6 h and this worked.
So far checked many CZcams videos and go through 100+ forums not even single idiot fix my issue - Your method really fixed my 10 days PC issue Thank You very much.
Thanks man my mhz was supposed to be at 3000 and it was on that but the info said 3600 mhz for the average but then I put the setting to 3600 and then my pc lost signal so I did this and it fixed it thank you so much!
Thank you! That's what I needed was the SEQUENCE for this. Now my question is, I THINK it will still keep my latest bios/revision/update/download from a year or so right? That will not be erased, right? I'm using a gorgeous ASRock formula 3.1 2011-v3. When I built it years ago, I made a mistake, which was keeping all the hard drives plugged in when I first fired it up. I also just bought the Mini-Monster Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2! Sorry, but I am Geek-Excited right now! :-)
You just made my day man, I messed up my new custom build PC's motherboard (Gigabyte Aorus z390 pro wifi) on its BIOS(Basic-input-output-system) setting in the very 1st day, my pc was on a state of 100% load with boosting temp. I was so depressed and thought of what should I do now! I was looking for a video but nothing worked for me. I tried with yours removing the battery and CLR_CMOS with the jumper and everything sets to normal again. Loved it, man.
Thanx ! it would have been clearer if your fingers weren't hide some of your efforts..may i make a suggestion try using something like a tweezer, i thought i moved my jumpers , but mine had a little plug and wired. i think i f----d up my system. MB diagram showed it and the area but i did not see anything like your showing here. Asus is no help.
Bro you SAVED ME! I am not kidding either, I’m a rookie when it comes to anything PC and my dumb self though “well I paid for 3600 mhz ram might as well overclock to it!” Dumbest thing I’ve done so far😂😂 I’ve never been so panicked my screen was black and my pc wouldn’t turn off or restart but this fixed it! You’re the man for this you have no idea how scared I was
For anyone like me, seeing this a few years later, most of this part is still helpful. The one thing he got wrong is that its recommended to wait about 5 minutes before putting the battery back in, not 15 seconds:)

Every motherboard is different, some require both and sometimes it is one or the other. It is best to check the documentation for the specific motherboard you are using.
From what I’ve read on Dell, in order to properly and completely clear the CMOS and NVRAM /ESCD settings you need to apply AC power (wall plug) “not necessarily power on” for a full 15 seconds. This is on a desktop board only with a 2 pin jumper where the plug is swapped out between the PSWD and CMOS jumpers to reset. Also on some other videos I found, it is said that you can even power on the machine to see if the fix worked while 3 pin jumpers are moved from positions 2-3 to 1-2. czcams.com/video/yipwZ6c2g7s/video.html Only that you would need to replace jumpers back to 2-3 after powering back down which will remove any changes you’ve mad while at 1-2. “K.I.S.S.” pull the CMOS battery for a minute or so using power button to clear capacitors and residual charges, replace battery, power up and in almost all cases where clearing CMOS is the actual solution to a problem, this works perfectly.
Sir please reply. I have asus a320m-k motherboard and g.skill 3000 mhz ram. When I change bios settings "MEMORY FREQUENCY" 3400 mhz then pc not start. My pc no boot/no power/blank screen. How it solution ? Please reply 🙏🙏🙏
My rig seems to die every 5 hours or so and reset itself, nothing is jumping out as a reason to why, recon a cmos reset could potentiality sort it out? What does a cmos reset do exactly?
After I did this every time I turn on my computer I have to take out the cmos and push it in while powering on or else my pc won't turn on. What do you think this is?
My PC is still not turning on, I don't know what to do. I've been troubleshooting for 4 hours now idk what's wrong. Edit: Bruh, it turned out that I connected the extension cables to the motherboard, but I didn't connect it to my modular power supply... I'm such a dumbass.

Unplug your PSU first or shut it off, you only need to remove gpu if you cant see the cmos battery or of your gpu is blocking it. Removing it is recommended regardless, since it's easier to work without a gpu in the way.

Isn't it either shorting "clr pins" or removing the battery?
Every motherboard is different, some require both and sometimes it is one or the other. It is best to check the documentation for the specific motherboard you are using.
after reseat the battery only my PC wont turn on... why?
Do you have to turn the power on after you change the jumper to "clear CMOS" mode?
If yes, for how long?
nope;. power is off
