The right command for saving in cmos setup - ASUS K8V-VM (K8V-VM GREEN) Motherboard

Try a known good keyboard. If that fails load linux in dvd only mode and try that. It will not change your hard drive.

This issue is often caused by either an incorrect setting in CMOS Setup or a bad boot device, such as a bad hard drive.

1. Verify your boot options are properly set in CMOS setup. We recommend having the CD or disc drive as your first boot device and then hard drive as the second boot device.
2. If your CMOS Setup has an option to boot from the LAN disable this option.
3. If you have changed any CMOS settings, make sure to save and reboot the computer.

If this does not resolve the issue, try resetting the CMOS values to the default settings, save and exit.
Finally, if none of the above suggestions resolve this error go through the Invalid or Non System Disk error troubleshooting steps, which is related to this error message.

replace the cmos battery, reboot the computer go into bios reset date and time and change boot order cdrom to boot first save changes. boot from windows xp cd do a repair. form command type sfc /scannow checks all system files.if any are bad should repair them.

1. Enter CMOS setup.
2. In CMOS setup look for an option to reset the CMOS values to the default setting or an option to load the fail-safe defaults. With many CMOS setup screens there will be a function key to do this; for example, the F5, F6, F9, F11, or F12 key like shown in the picture to the right. Other setups may actually list an option that you can arrow over to using the arrow keys and press Enter.
3. When found and selected you'll likely be asked if you're sure you wish to load the defaults press Y for yes or arrow to the yes option.
4. Once the default values have been set make sure to Save and Exit and not just exit.

If this fixes the problem but it reoccurs again later you main need a new cmos battery. Or keep your battery always slightly charged.

your computer should have a default setting for your cmos you will need to go into the setup screen of computer using a f10 or f-12 button usually at startup. when you boot your computer it should tell you what f buttoin to hit. once in the setup go to cmos default and click it then you should have to answer yes and then save and exit.

BIOS passwordsare used to add some extra security to computers. You can either set a passwordto prevent access to BIOS settings or to prevent PC from booting. But sometimesthis extra security might become a pain when you forget the BIOS password orsomeone changes your system BIOS password intentionally. But there is noneed to worry. There are many known ways to reset / remove / bypass thepassword: · By removing CMOS battery · By using motherboard jumper · By using MS DOS command · By using software · By using Backdoor BIOS password Now I'll try to explain each methodone by one: By Removing CMOS Battery:
Almost allmotherboards use a small coin d CMOS battery to store all BIOS settingsalong with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the cabinetand remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and thenput it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings as well as the password and you'llneed to re-enter all settings. If it fails,then try to remove the battery for at least one hour. By Using MotherboardJumper: Almost allmotherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with theBIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon themotherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check itslocation. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOSbattery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS,etc. When you findthe jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joiningthe center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove thejumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joinscenter pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Nowwait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pinto left pin. Make sure toturn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper. By UsingMS DOS Command: This methodworks only if you have access to the system when its turned on because thismethod requires MS DOS. Open Command Prompt from Programs menuand provide following commands one bye one: Debug o 70 2E o 71 FF quit NOTE:The first character in the above commands is English alphabet "o"and not the number 0. After providing the above commands, restart your systemand it should reset the CMOS Settings along with the BIOS password. If you arecurious to know how it works? then let me explain the above commands: In this method we are using theDebug tool of MS DOS. The "o" character present atfirst in these commands, outputs the values to IO ports. The number 70and 71 are port numbers which are used to access CMOS memory.By providing FF value we are telling CMOS that there is aninvalid checksum and it resets the CMOS settings as well as BIOS password. By UsingSoftware: There are a few software which canalso reset CMOS settings or BIOS password or both within a few clicks. But asstated above you should have access to a system which is turned on and shouldhave access to MS DOS or MS Windows: CmosPwd By Using Backdoor BIOSPassword: Some BIOSmanufacturer put a backdoor password in BIOS which always works irrespective ofwhat password you have set in BIOS. Its a master password which is used fortesting and troubleshooting purposes. AMI BIOS Passwords: A.M.I.

Hi,
This is problem with your CMOS setup.
Go to CMOS setup in that find your hard disk in that that change your hard disk mode from SATA to IDE save changes than ok

Try changing the CMOS Battery, Are you sure you are putting the jumper on the right pins, what happens if you save and exit bios without changing the jumper back, you may be resetting the CMOS with the jumper. does the clock keep accurate time if you leave the jumper on so you can get into the BIOS after turning PC off unplugging power then plug back in and check time in BIOS, if it is not keeping time, you may have a bad battery

start the system hit delete or F2 to enter setup load system defaults then exit saving changes.

if it didnt work

get to the mainboard
there is a jumper near the cmos battery usually shows the
word (jbat) near it , try to change its position for some
seconds while power is off , this way will clear cmos and set the
mainboard bios to default settings.
start the system hit delete or F2 to enter setup then exit saving changes.
