Need to know what the settings are in advance bios CMOS mine says its wrong

I'm sorry to have to say this but your CMOS battery connection is bad. There is basically nothing you can do other than replace the whole motherboard if it is too much of a problem.

One of my many computers is like this as well. I'm lucky in that as long as I leave that computer plugged in (it doesn't need to be turned on just plugged in), the CMOS won't reset its self. If you aren't that lucky then I would seek out a replacement motherboard.

NVRAM should be your BIOS, if that's not found you've got something wrong with your motherboard. I don't think it's a dead CMOS battery but you could try changing it, dead CMOS batteries usually say bad checksum.

edit: try removing any hardware you don't need for the computer to boot then if it works, add them back one by one __________________

Hello you just have to remove the cmos battery:



Press the release pad and the battery will pop out
DO NOT have any power on disconnect all power and usb cables
when you do that.

Wait for 10 min. or so with the battery out
and the bios will reset back to factory settings.

Replace the battery and boot up your machine and enter the bios
you kave to configure the boot order.

Here is some youtube videos how you do that:

But it depends what bios you have.

Good luck

When you boot up to the log in screen type in administrator as user to log in if you cant log in

during the boot up process you will see on the screen for a short amount of time press a certain key to enter set up press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS scroll down to set user password or supervisor password you can change or remove your password from there

also

The most common way that we know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard. Another way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2 methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off cmos the battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased.

hope this helps you

The BIOS and Supervisor passwords cannot be removed or changed unless you know the existing password(s). If you forget your BIOS or Supervisor password, you will have to have the password removed by a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider

When you flash the wrong BIOS, the motherboard is broken for good unless you have the factory utilities, which (I'm assuming you don't work in a Dell factory) you don't. Sorry. Your best bet is to buy a new motherboard and switch all your parts onto that mobo.

Did you swap the Cmos jumpers from 1-2 to 2-3 to clear Cmos before replacing battery and if so, did you return them to their original position (normal as opposed to clear cmos)? If the jumper is still in the clear Cmos position, the board will not boot.

Try changing the Cmos battery, it may appear to work but may not be suited to the board

Disconnect all drives except the hard drive, unplug usb and sound cables, if fitted, remove graphics card and either test with another one or use the onboard graphics.

you can change a few settings in BIOS but as long as you can remember what changes you have made so if anything goes wrong you can restore bios to original settings

enter BIOS the scroll down to advanced bios features press enter change your first boot device to cd,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

hope this helps

For that first open your cpu cabinet then check on motherbord chipset you can find 1 CMOS cell .
It is round cell which gives voltage to your bios for remember settings.
Then pull it and purchase cmos cell from nearest computer shop then put that new cmos cell in it's position on motherbord.
Then when you power up the computer press F1 or F2 or "del" then you can see bios settings screen.
Set your time and date then save settings and exit.

Let me know if you need more assistance.
Thanks.

there should be a cmos reset jumper on the motherboard somewhere close to the bios chip. Given you didn't mention the actual model and brand of mobo i cannot be certain. Also you can remove the little watch battery for a few minutes and it too should reset the bios.
