The problem arises when we do certain change in bios and the PC has stopped booting, is not working properly, lost performance or any other incident affecting its normal operation.
This problem can also occur if we added new material to the PC, or chart, RAM memoryA PCIe expansion card and it doesn’t work properly or the BIOS couldn’t recognize it.
The solution to this problem is as simple as resetting the factory settings of the motherboard. Fortunately, this problem has a very simple solution. Additionally, we can reset the PC BIOS using different methods, which makes the process much easier.
How to reset a PC BIOS
All the methods that we show you below work independently, so we just need to use one, the one that is most comfortable or easiest for us to implement.
From BIOS
Resetting the BIOS from the BIOS itself is the most used method to do this, although, as we will see below, it is not the only one available. Once we have accessed the BIOS by pressing the Del, Esc, F1, F2 or F12 button (depending on the motherboard manufacturer), we need to access the configuration options. card configuration and look for the option that allows us to load the defaults to the computer.
Once this is done, it is important to save the changes so that the next time you start the computer, the BIOS loads the default configuration of the card.
Remove the battery from the motherboard
The function they have motherboard stackthis is not limited to preserving the time of the equipment when we turn it off or disconnect it from the mains. Another of its functions is to maintain the settings established in the BIOS. Removing the battery will reset the CMOS, which is responsible for storing the system configuration.
Contrary to what many users think, there is no point in removing the battery and putting it back in. You must wait approximately 10 minutes for the electrical charge to dissipate. After this time, we can replace the motherboard battery and turn on the computer normally since the BIOS will have loaded its default settings.
Press and hold the power button
The quickest and most effective method available to reset a PC’s BIOS is to hold down the power button for 15 to 30 seconds, until the computer beep confirming that the process was carried out correctly.
This method has a but since it is not a function available in all base plates on the market or from all manufacturers. This function has been implemented in motherboards arriving on the market since 2020, not to be confused with those purchased in 2020.
