Why would one want to clear the CMOS?

If your BIOS setting get messed up, or you have something set up too high while overclocking and your computer wont start etc.

if you don't like the instability of your new BIOS update....... and......it reverts back to your mobo's orig BIOS.

I don't believe it does this unless it is an advanced feature of the motherboard.

EDIT: Unless you mean the orig BIOS settings, then yes it normally does that.

And if you lose the password for boot the machine / BIOS, clearing it gets rid of that as well...
