Clear CMOS Problem

I have the Neo 2 Plat
I cleared the cmos the way the directions said by moving the jumper to slots 2-3 when the comp was off. Then I moved the jumper to 1-2 turned the comp back on and got the following error.
CMOS Checksum error-defaults loaded

That's actually normal.  Just press the key to enter setup.  Basically what that message is telling you that the default settings have been loaded.

  • No signal after clearing CMOS

    Hey,
    I was having problems and so chose to clear the cmos (using the jumper). Now there is no signal on monitor!
    Just to make sure that it was cuz of clearing cmos, I had another computer with the problem so I did it to that one too lol. And that one also now shows NO signal on monitor. The monitor is working I've tested it with other comps. The picture was showing until i cleared cmos.
    the two motherboards I have the problem on are:
    MS-7267 Ver: 3.0
    PM8M3-V H
    Any help is appreciated. Everything is powering up, only thing is that nothing shows up on the monitor, and the monitor is in the "stand by" "yellow light" state.
    Thank You

    sorry to hear you got double wammy  from your mobo  but be frank with us did you turn the power off before changing the jumpers setting or 240volt to power supply was still connected on both occasions?? if  power was connected you might have caused some damage to your mobo?? lets hope not.
    try this if you have time and patient.
    1-unplug the pc.
    2-Remove all memory and insert only one in the slot1 which is closest to cpu. if you can try to interchange the memory if they fit.
    3-change the jumper setting to position where it clears the cmos and please leave it for at least 30 second and not ten. then after 30 second put the jumpers  in the original position  (make sure you get this right).
    4-then plug the pc and power it.
    there are occasions where static charges do prevent mobo from working. it has happened to me,  and i thought that i had lost the mobo yet it worked a few days later??
     lets hope this gets you going.
    good luck
    p.s do make sure you connect the speakers to mobo, from bip bip sound you may be able to tell the kind of fault you have .

  • Black screen Presario CQ62-219WM Clear CMOS jumper pins

    About 2 years ago I bought my son the laptop for school from Walmart new. 6 months later, he brought it back to me from his Mom's and said it quit working. At that time, to check it out first, it booted to the HP screen only. Tried to get into the BIos with F2 but it was unsuccessful. Did the usual hard rested sequence with battery out,->unplug adapter-> Hold power button down 1 minute -> reboot with battery only and then with adapter plugged in. No change. Removing the RAM modules didn't make a difference. I replaced both Memory card to 2 GB X2 . Still wouldn't boot. Removed the HDD and replaced it with a known working drive from another 64 bit Wndows 7 OS and that didn't work. The original HDD is readable because it worked in the exchange. As a last resort, I built an Ubuntu live USB put that into the USB port on the presario (32 bit Ubuntu) and no success either. Can't reflash the BIOS. I decided that before I do anything more I would just take it back to Walmart as it was less than a year old and was directed to do so by HP (return it to where it was purchased). When I did, I was informed that because I was concerned of a motherboard problem, it was not covered under warranty and I was essentially stuck. I was recently unemployed so that was it. Went home, read some more and looked at the board and the capacitors visually and nothing grossly abnormal. I tried clearing the CMOS only by removing the battery and cold storing it for 24 hrs. Replaced it and still nothing. Read about the jumpers to CLRCMOS but I have looked on both sides of the board And there are no free pins, and nothing that Identifies anything to say clr CMOS or a variation of that. He wants to have his own back even though it has been a valuable learning tool. So .... Do you have a final suggestion other than go on eBay, buy a new board for $90, and quit trying to fix an unrepairable problem? He's going back to school and I still am out of work. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    There are no clear CMOS jumpers on the board. My best suggestion is to use one of the motherboard repair services on eBay. They can identify and repair defective chips on the board using advanced equipment. If you can remove the board and ship them just that, I have seen the service for as little as $70. Obviously you can handle removing the motherboard.

    I have no affiliation with this person and there are several other similar ones on eBay. Most of the used motherboards you get on eBay have had a procedure like this done to them anyway.

  • Clear Cmos KT4V-l

    hi
    i know i should use the jumper but it doesn't work
    i even put out the battery still no success
    any suggestions ?
    pc won't boot i would like to see the message
    bad cmos checkpoint press F1 of delete....
    thanks !
    due to a bad monitor the pc won't boot anymore
    i think it did a bad voltage to the main board
    now i know it because with my other main board
    i got the same situation but there i could clear the
    cmos with the jumpers.....
    thanks for your replies ! ! !
    (sorry for the bad englsih......) )

    ok i'll try it tomorrow evening !
    but i had the same problem with another mb and there i could solve it by clearing the bios
    i ones let me tell that you can do it by sorting someting
    wrong at the battery that would give me bad cmos check
    but i don't know anymore how since the jumper for clearing cmos doens't work anymore
    i even going to try the proposal of wonkanoby
    one to success ? ? . . .i hop so almost one month and the board worked 1 day

  • Clear CMOS did not reset BIOS Password

    OK please read my whole post before telling me to try something I already tried.
    I have a somewhat unique problem.
    My system:
      MSI 870A-G54
      AMD Phenom II x6 1055T
      Windows 7
    I have a system password setup through BIOS. Every time I reboot I enter the password. I have not forgotten my password.
    I was having an issue getting into the BIOS, I would push Delete and on the POST screen it would say "Preparing to enter Setup" then the system password would prompt. I would enter it and then Windows would boot, no BIOS setup.
    This happened over and over. I got fed up and decided to nuke the problem. I powered down, unplugged and set the clear CMOS jumper, waited about 20 seconds, reset the jumper, plugged in and powered up.
    Then I pushed delete again, POST returned an error "CMOS not set, date and time wrong, press F1 for setup F2 to load defaults and boot.
    I Press F1 and there is the password prompt. Only now my password doesn't work. Enter (blank) doesn't work.
    So a clear CMOS again, only this time I pull the battery out too.
    Same result.
    So I pull out the battery and set the clear jumper and wait 1 hour.
    Same result.
    So I set the CMOS clear jumper and boot the system (yes I know the manual says not to do this) Obviously no post, 1 minute later I reset the jumper and reboot.
    Same result.
    So I download the MSI HQ BIOS tool and flashed the most recent BIOS, clear CMOS.
    Same result.
    My system works fine and I no longer have to enter a password to boot to Windows, but I am locked out of BIOS.
    Please tell me there is a solution.
    Thank You

    Got it! Was doing it wrong way leaving all spaces blank but it doesn't work because it always prompts you to enter your current password; so that's Current Password > "your current password"  hit enterNew Password > "leave blank" hit enterConfirm New Password> "leave blank" hit enter and it prompts you to "CONTINUE with save changes?" > hit enter and Password changes from <SET> to <CLEAR>; SAVE & Exit and it's done. Thank you!

  • Z77A-GD65 Wont Boot Without Clearing CMOS. Gets Error 32.

    Hi!
    I just switched GPU from 2x 7950 to 980.
    I cleared drivers etc etc and was powering down my pc for the replacement. took out the cards and put in the 980.
    When i later was trying to boot, i got debug error 32, which is early cpu initialization. So i checked all the cables and tried again. Same thing.
    Took everything out and reinserted it again. Same error. even tried the to take out each ram to see. Still nothing.
    I later cleared cmos and the computer booted. but then when i restart i doesnt boot until power everything down and clear cmos again.
    Do you guys have any idea?
    My specs are
    Z77A-GD65
    2500k CPU (Now after clearing CMOS at stock speed)
    Corsair Vengance 2x4GB RAM
    850W Bronze psu

    Tryreplacing battery. Also could try to run it with single Ram stick and outside of the case.
    I Couldn't wait so i went to town and bought me a battery, didn't change anything.
    I've tried running a single RAM in each slot, just to try. no change there. Still error 32.
     I've also test it outside the case now and still no difference.
    Otherwise i've noticed i can boot if i press the reset button exact when debug code 55 shows. It's really weird. doing this way all bios settings are still there and i can test my pc with OC. I've played Dying Light on it this way with no problem at all. except this annoying code 32 who reappers everytime i restart my computer and hinders it to boot...
    EDIT: Also sometimes (very rare), it starts at first boot.

  • Wont boot unless clearing cmos

    JBAT1
    Ok here's the story in full.
    Received K8T Neo2-FIR - was completely DOA along with a working 3000 90nm.
    Received working K8T Neo2-FIR, got system to post after 5 hours of work (including 1.30 hours to watch Open Range whilst angered).
    Post Showed 'invalid bios checksum' etc, the board now has 3.31 bios and still it will not post, will not even boot to be precise. It won't kick in fans etc UNLESS the jbat1 is set to CLEAR CMOS. Then the system works fine other than not retaining any bios settings.
    I have now installed Windows XP Pro 64bit along with the 64bit drivers, unfortunately cannot use any MSI tools. I am going to update to the latest RC1 of XP64 pro as soon as Microsoft sort out the error in the download page/server.
    Anybody got any clue to solving my problem? Oh and i can't run my Kingmax 3700 in dual channel, infact i dont think i can run 2 sticks in single channel either. (2x512MB).

    550Watt PSU
    22A at 12v rail
    3000+ Winchester
    MSI K8T Neo2-FIR
    2x IDE HDD on IDE1
    1x DVDWRITER on IDE2
    9700Pro
    1GB Dual Channel 3700
    The PSU is going to be my next purchase, i have witnessed 2 Tagan UO2's explode recently so am going to go with an Akasa 460W. To be honest the current PSU is crap quality but testing the rails and amperes output actually hits 530Watts, on load i doubt it can hit this but still has enough power to satisfty 3xmore drivers and 6case fans in another SocketA machine which takes a lot more power at the cpu.
    The ram has been in all possible combinations provided by the book but i can only get it to run 1 stick. I cannot run the LIVE UPDATE tool as im using Windows 64Bit. I've got 1 hour 26mins left on the download for the latest beta so hopefully i can run the tools tomorrow.
    I have tried booting the machine etc with all items unpluged and select ones etc but no luck, it will only work if the jumpers are set to clear cmos. Maybe a multimeter on the jbat would reveal whether any current is getting passed through pin 1. Long shot and hopeless i know. Theres probably a reasonabe explanation.
    I've now had 3 different Bios errors on post, so i think its just screwed it with the first boot on jumper2-3.
    Soft reboots work fine (it hasnt stopped to tell me bios errors) just 'NO BIOS INSTALLED' at the sata raid post screen.

  • Pavilion p6-2133w - Wont post/boot without clearing cmos first

    I really need some advice guys. My dad just recemtly bought this computer from a friend (friend says it had no problems) which could be true.
    I did a fresh format after downloading all drivers from HP, installed them all incuding the bios update (which i think is my problem) and now i have to clear cmos every single time before it will boot or even post, if i dont clear cmos the computer does turn on (fans have power) but the monitor stays black. When i do clear cmos the pc boots fine and the only thing i notice wrong is some files wont download thru IE (like adobe flash, says no internet connection when the adobe installer trys to download) and im getting constant sec.certificate display blocked errors thru IE other then that it runs fine.
    So im assuming something went wrong installing the bios update, im praying somebody has or even knows what the original bios is supposed to be ? or someway i can fix it. I have since done another format and tried reinstalling the bios update and all other drivers but nothing changes
    Any advice, opinions, or idea's would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

  • G33M-FI Fails to POST without clearing CMOS

    Hello,
    I purchased a new system with a G33M-FI mainboard in December.  Everything worked great on the first boot, but the first time I restarted it failed to POST.  I had to clear CMOS settings using the jumper.  On the next boot I updated the BIOS to 1.2, restarted multiple times and everything worked fine for a while...
    Now occasionally the system again fails to POST.  This does happen on both a restart or a cold boot.  Each time this has happened clearing the CMOS settings with the jumper does "fix" the problem and allows the system to boot again but it is VERY annoying.  The problem also appears to be getting more and more frequent as time goes on (but maybe this is just my imagination).  I have been leaving all of the CMOS settings at the default values so I don't think this is caused by something I did.
    Any thoughts?
    Here are the system specs:
    MSI G33M-FI (bios version 1.2, default settings)
    Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2G (800MHz)
    Patriot 2GB Kit PDC22G6400LLK (2 sticks of 1GB, 800MHz 4-4-4-12)
    Antec NSK3480 micro ATX case w/ 380w power supply
    WD 320GB 3200ks SATA hard drive
    Samsung sh-s203b/bebn DVD+/-RW sata drive

    List PSU details, look for them over PSU sticker.
    Try with just one memory stick alone in a 1st DIMM slot near to CPU socket and see if problem persist.
    You may need to up memory vcore a bit,(in BIOS ==> "Frequency/Voltage Control", "Memory Voltage", Setup 2.0V and re-test)

  • Clear Cmos or other first

    I have an 845PE Max2 Fir 2.53 proc. 2- 512 sticks Corsair 3200 ram. No oc just high performance setting by spd. When starting computer I get only the first screen then it stops  ( the screen with MSI logo and with the option to enter bios ) tried delete and tab keys =  nothing it just stops. If I use the restart button or ctl alt del it starts ok and everything seems to work ok. ( D bracket says initializing floppy drive controller when it stops - one red light at top right corner. ) This problem just started. System assembled 1 year ago and has always worked fine until now. I checked floppy controller in device manager and it says no problems. Is there anything to do before clearing cmos. Although I need to get into bios regardless. Just thought there may be something to do first. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Assaf that was an excelent response. It made me remember when a printer I had on another comp. caused the same thing by having it on before starting the computer. It also made me remember that my scanner on this comp. was left on and had been since this has been happening. I turned off the scanner and comp. waited a couple of hours then turned it back on and everything works fine again. No problems using the scanner just don't have it on before startup. Thanks

  • Clear CMOS after every crash ?

    After putting together a new system I have this problem.
    When the PC freezes, and this happens instantly if I hit the "auto" button in the CoreCentre pannel it will refuse to boot up again. To unfreeze it I turn the main power off for a few seconds and upon turning it back on the MB comes to life for half a second and shuts down. This happens over and over, on its own. The CPU fan kicks in along with the blinky leds on the MB fan, and the power led on the front pannel comes up ..... only for half a second on, 1 second off, half second on etc.
    Only way to cure is to clear CMOS ram and the system will fire up as norm.
    Ideas?
    Neo12SR
    P4 3.0
    Kingston Hyperx 500mhx 1g

    No overclocking or performance tweaks used.

    Do NOT use the Auto Overclock button on "Core-Center" , as this Feature Raises your FSB until your PC Fails , and this is supposedly the Highest that you can Set your FSB to Upon Reboot, I dont Recomend Using Core-Center for ANY Hardware Changes, as it is still a project that is in the Works......Use "Clock-Generator" for Raising your FSB or Use the BIOS, and for Monitoring your Temps and voltages use "Speed-Fan".........Sean REILLY875

  • Clear CMOS short & power up what could happenn

    I bought used K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum, mounted it to case checked everything out and powered up. After 5sec. of "nothing happens" something sed to me: power off.
    I checked once again and found clear CMOS pins short. I don't have paper manual so I downloaded it from MSI site but cant find D-bracket LED's codes in it (will have one in few days).
    D-bracket shows 1-green 2-green then 1&2-blinking alternatly few times and 1 sometimes stays green , sometimes goes red (2 always stays green), 3-red, 4-red.
    My question is:
    Manual saying that power on with clear CMOS short WILL damage mobo, but I want know what can be damaged in this 5 sec?
    In LED codes from other mobo 1 & 2 green means: decompressing bios image to RAM, in this moment POST stops so maybe only bios is damaged and needs to by flashed?
    There was Athlon 166FSB mounted, and i tried with Duron 133FSB so I took out battery and disconected mobo for several hours to be sure that CMOS is cleared
    I didn't tryed INSERT key method yet, and hope that this will resolve problems (but in my country people saying "Hope is mother of stupids" ).
    Anyway I want to be prepared for the worst, and want know what worst means in this case.
    And in worst please tell me where I can make an RMA on this mobo. I can't find anything on MSI website.
    Greetings and waitin for any ideas...

    RMA page, http://www.msicomputer.com/msi_user/msi_rma/
    Try stripping the board down to just the memory, cpu, vid card, floopy drive, keyboard and mouse. See if it'll post that way. Also make sure you're using a power supply that has the 4 pin connector for the cpu power and it's connected to the motherboard.

  • Pls help! I cleared CMOS now I've lost RAID: P35 platinum

    Hi all,
    Last night I had a problem with my PC not reading a CD. I read on another forum that it may be a problem with my CD drive not being recognised and it recommended pressing the 'clear CMOS' button then rebooting the system.
    However, I have now lost RAID. It boots fine on one drive but lists the other as simply another drive. I went back into the BIOS and re-activated RAID, but when I do this the operating system fails to boot and gives me an error message saying:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    <windows root> system32\config\system
    I have backed everything up while the machine is good, but would dearly not want to have to re-install everything again!
    Is there any way I can recover it to the way it was before?
    I did a search a found this thread, not entirely sure if it's the same problem:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=35930.0
    Cheers,
    Zap
    Details of my system:
    Mobo: MSI P35 Platinum 1333MHZ FSB, Processor: Intel Q6600 2.4GHZ, 4GB ram, HDD: 2 x 500GB Samsung in RAID (mirrored)
    Operating System:XP SP3

    Ok guys, here are the further details: (BTW triangle, it's RAID1).
    In the BIOS here are some of the settings i've applied:
    On chip ATA devices:
    PCI IDE busmaster = Enabled
    RAID mode = RAID
    The boot sequence is set to:
    1. CD ROM
    2. One of the HDD's (2 are listed as being available)
    3. Disabled
    Now, it boots OK to the Intel Storage Manager page. If I press CTRL-I to open the configuration utility I get the following details:
    RAID 1
    ID = 0
    Name = Volume 0
    Status = Normal
    Bootable = Yes
    So if I exit, it goes to attempt to boot XP. However before I get any sign of life from XP I get this error message:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
    You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM.
    Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
    Now if I set RAID mode = IDE in the BIOS the system will boot normally on one HDD. At the moment I can open explorer and see that the 2 HDDs are listed as Local Disc (C:) and Local Disc (E:)'.
    I checked the SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM on both the HDD's and found a difference in the file size between the two- I'm guessing because I'm currently using one disc and ignoring the other.
    SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file sizes:
    Local Disc (C:) = 40.9MB (41.1MB size on disc)
    Local Disc (E:) = 40.6MB (40.8MB size on disc)
    So I assume because the two files don't match XP treats them as being corrupt when in RAID 1 mode.
    Can I simply copy the SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file from one disc to the other? What about the other items on the disc that don't match considering that other files have changed aside from this one?
    Should I attempt to copy the entire C drive to the E drive....?????
    Thanks again guys,
    Cheers Zap.

  • How to clear cmos with jumper method MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

    no have socket for jumper/clear cmos ?

    Quote from: pegadroid on 13-August-14, 18:37:12
    ok. thank you all. now I'm not confused, I think its socket to clear cmos lost
     If you mean the jumper no it did not come with one, nothing was lost. Older MBs had 3 pins for JBAT1 and came with a jumper and it was stored plugged into pins 1-2 and to clear CMOS it was moved to clear pins 2-3 and then moved back to the store position pins 1-2.

Maybe you are looking for
