help w/ ECS KT600-A

[cashrevert]

So my motherboard broke and I needed a cheap replacement. Anyways, I fixed everything and it worked out fine. However, after I changed the Bios setting for "Auto Dectect DIMM/PCI Clk" to disabled, nothing shows on the display when I power up the computer again.

Is there any way I can reset the bios setting back to the default so at least something shows on the screen? Right now, whenever I boot up, nothing shows up on my monitor and I can't even (see or) access the bios. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

This option should be working. When it doesn't, it's usually due to a dodgy DIMM.

BIOS settings are reset by clearing the CMOS storage, by jumper. You should have operated that one already, while assembling the machine.

Take the battery out and put it back in and it should reset the CMOS.

There's a jumper for doing exactly that next to the battery. No need for surgery 😉
