My way, i change the position of the pin and turn the psu off till the board light off.. then turn on and change the pin back to normal.. Worked for me..

later board used to use easier way to clear CMOS instead off taking off the CMOS battery... either via jumper or switch which can be found on some motherboard...

like my DFI LanParty DK P35 T2R-S, switching the jumper and discharge it... voila, cleared already... or use the combination of the both switch... press power (hold it for 3-5 seconds), press reset button while holding power button... give them maybe 5~7 seconds... voila, cleared...

So different motherboard uses diff ways to clear CMOS?

nope... basically it's all the same... , make it simple la...

usually there's a jumper for clearing CMOS, just switch it to CLR_CMOS, discharge them... voila, you done...

haha...now i jus press de yellow button...keke...

but b4 this i normally change de jumper setting, switch off power den can is clear le

a bit OT here.. switched clr_cmos jumper to 'clear', put power socket to psu, smelled something burning...... the whole BIOS chip (small soldered one) burns bright red .. . all this happen without pressing the ON button.... scary

very nice pic you have at the siggy dude

hmm ABIT IP35-E has a creepy BIOS reset.. especially when you clear and it doesnt work maybe my board is gonna die soon

Mine clears easily bro

If clear BIOS alot of times...will it get spoil or shorten its lifetime???

Just take battery out and put back again

Clearing BIOS has nothing to do with it's lifespan. If you do it wrongly then it might.

mine nothing happen even when i switch on the power with clr cmos jumper tp clear..

thats right.. but will take a whole lot of time..

Better than jumping jumper on IP35E

Eh.....sure bout that? I my experience thats the WRONG way to do it Usually i unplug everything and discharge the mobo caps b4 clearing the cmos, and we're using the same mobo.

Yeah same here, havent had a prob clearing the cmos yet. Another way i found that works sometimes is by switching off the power supply, discharging the caps, and then running the comp again, usually the fsb resets this way

unplug everything ar.. i switch off the psu oni.. clear cmos.. then when the light off straight on the psu back.. put back jumper to normal.. a lot faster..

Guys, I have a problem here. Please give comment.

My OCed rig can run Orthos blend test for several hours without a single error but when I play game. Sometimes I get BSOD - beginning psychical memory dump. What's wrong?

run 3dmark06 looped for a few hours. I suspect your system does not have enough power to run both the oc-ed proc and gc at full load.

Added on April 22, 2008, 10:09 amoh yea, wait. I dont usually unplug the power supply cord but i do turn off the psu n wall socket switches and discharge the caps 1st. It might be faster the other way but is worth risking burning your mobo?

That's what I suspect too but very weird cause previously I can run my 8800gts 320mb OCed for whole day gaming...
8800GTS full load need 285w while 9600GT only draws 215w ..

with the same oc and psu? yea weird, but then it could be that your psu performance itself has dropped due to caps aging.

Or it could be the ram. I had an oc b4 that ran perfectly stable in orthos blend(12 hours), 3dmark06 (6hours) but would cause system hang while playing certain games. After investigating here n there I finally found out thru memtest86 that my ram wasnt fully stable.
