Computer won't start

[gullyrip1]

My family computer has been having physical memory dump issues. Before i could get to fix the issue my brother went into the CMOS and changed some things. I not sure but I think he set the physical memory to 0 cycles. Now the computer will not start. My question is, is there anyway i can get to the CMOS or reset it while memory is set at o cycles. Please Help. And if there's nothing that can be done are there any alternatives. Thanks

If you don't know where the CMOS reset jumper is on the motherboard you'll need to remove the CMOS battery(usually held in by a clip) for a few minutes to clear the CMOS to default. Either way you'll need to open the case.

Exactly - its actually quite simple to clear your BIOS and reset to default settings. Either locate the CMOS reset jumper on ur mobo and move the pins about, or just take the battery out. Nothing much to worry about at all

tell your brother to stay out of the BIOS
