There's a clear CMOS jumper on your motherboard. Where I couldn't tell you, but it will be in your motherboard manual. All you really do is (with the power off!) move the jumper pins from the operational position to the clear CMOS position for about 10 seconds, then move them back.

Failing that option, you can pull the CMOS battery (a small coin-sized battery on the motherboard) and leave it out for about the same amount of time.

ok i will give that a try and get back to you

leave the battery out for a couple of minutes. ive found that 10 secs is often not enough

I agree that you have to clear CMOS. BUT, the best way to do it is described in your motherboards manual.

Remove the bio's battery for 10 minutes , then reinstall it...
