How to remove cmos battery in your pc? Cmos reset / hard reset on bios 

If this does not fix your pc try checking this link for more troubleshooting tutorials ru-vid.com/group/PLqHl1qasBnOHXQahxqQMkuUkoRg3dbSwQ

I have been through so many videos that have said "if you're experiencing X, just reset your BIOS battery by removing it, good job" without actually *explaining* it the way this video did. Thank you!

I’ve had a bad history of breaking PCs on accident and having to send them to professionals. This tutorial just saved me $100 and hours of stress. Straight to the point, fixed the issue. Love you man.

Sometimes the simplest way is the hardest way, thank you man haha..

Thanks you saved my life it's literally 3:54 AM now i can go to sleep. After resetting my bios!

This is honestly one of the most helpful videos! Thank you so much! I was so close in losing hope.

So much went wrong today with my desktop and every problem was fixed with your videos today, I swear. First the RAM sticks and now removing the CMOS battery for 5 minutes seems to have finally solved everything. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this. I was trying to update some drivers on my pc and came across some errors and one brought me to the post screen and it said I have 0gb of memory. In this case, should I just try taking the battery out for about 15 mins? Also does everything have to be plugged in when I do it because my gpu covers up my battery making it harder to get to

Maybe you could pin this if possible. Look heres what I did after overclock made monitor go black and keyboard mouse stopped working Bios reset by clear CMOS but pc wont start. I did this clear cmos by JBAT1 with screwdriver by placing screwdriver and linking 2 nodes. Again pulled out battery according to YT. Then moved my 2 rams on next tries, 4 slots so changed 1rst ram position then changed 2nd ram position then tried single ram. Then at last changed first ram and out 2nd ram in original position at start and put screwdriver in JBAT1 but didnt connect 2 nodes. I dont know if last step fixed it, my gpu losened and gave white motherboard light but it auto resolved. Msi auto ram overclock did all this, overclocking wasnt this pain prev generations...

Wow that’s amazing. I needed a battery for my scale and I took one from the pc and now my scale works!!! Thank a lot 🎉

How do I open my computer to do this

My computer wouldn’t turn on, it would flicker briefly then power off, every tech genius online kept telling me it was my PSU (like how, it’s 750w brand new) but turns out I removed my cmos battery and it lit up like a xmas tree thanks bud

So I did this to fox my display not working and stuff cause it shows it has power to everything but it won’t display and my keyboard and mouse won’t work but it didn’t work and I’m honestly at a loss

Thanks a ton Coyzkie. Love you man !!! Searching for 2 hours for this solution for my Ryzen 5 3600 (No display but boots up). Again Thank you. Love from 🇵🇰

Thanks!

Thanks for showing this. I have the "first" type of battery. First build I've ever done and was pretty disheartened when nothing but some lights in the case came on. Unplugged everything, took out the battery and let it sit for a few minutes. Put it back in and plugged in the power. It worked! Thanks again !

This fixed my keyboard and mouse input latency after having it for so long I thought my aim was just shit but clearing the cmos legit fixed like all my problems.

I love you so much you changed my life, bro❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

DUDE THANK YOU!! I had a power outage and when I turned my pc on it would turn on but stay on black screen then an error with cmos popped up. Did the screwdriver trick and it’s running again! Thanks so much

my monitor wouldn't work............thank god your video helped.........but this computer/desktop is one week old..............why did it stop working????

Had to do this after upgrading my ram, thought i broke something, but I just had to remove the battery for 5 minutes! Thanks so much ^^

So do I remove the battery and the start it up with no battery or remove the battery with the pc completely off then wait 5 put it in the turn it on?

Thank you so much! I thought I was done for. On boot up screen was black and fans started to run insanely fast. Just like in movies right before explosion. This fixed it. Learn something new every day

Hi bro, I have a question, my motherboard is updated. If I remove the battery from the motherboard, will that update be lost? Please help😥

Bro this video is just amazing. Really really appreciate your efforts and time. It helped very perfectly. Thank You So Much. 🤝

My power went out, after that my computer kept crashing and I thought it was good as dead. I tried removing the CMOS battery and I can play games again!!!

Short and to the point. No clickbait. Just facts. Thanks a lot my dude!

My pc when I Open a game will trip off and turns on right away. I tested my Psu its 12v ram is fine and Gpu is fine so as ryzen3600 is it my board?

Hey Mac! I got into the bios but when I save and reboot the system it always go back to black screen no display no mouse and keyboard function. Any tips on what can i do to make my pc works?

Hi I did this with a over clocked gpu it came over clocked btw would it still be over clocked??

I keep getting the “ Insert Boot Drive “ error after installing a new M.2 SSD. I’m about to try the CMOS Reset method, cross your fingers!

my pc still isn't showing anything its just a black screen and ive tried this 4 times

Bro I need help. Normally my monitor shows the display, but when I try to access BIOS settings or try to use Advanced Options to reset my PC or Repair, it shows "No Display Port." Also the same issue with the HDMI. Then, when I press the restart button, my PC restarts normally, and the display works again. I can't access my BIOS settings or use Advanced Options. What should I do? My BIOS is in UEFI mode. My display cable is connected to the GPU Display Port. One day, I used our Walton TV with my monitor's HDMI 2.1 cable, and the TV showed the BIOS display. However, it’s not working with my monitor. I can't find a solution on RU-vid as well.

Thanks for the info dads pc had corrupted bios and each time it would keep turning off taking out the cmos and putting it back in seemed to allow it to finish it 👍

I reset my CMOS battery and now it wants me to reinstall windows again?

mine was like this but now I am stuck at the aptio setup utility

Hi, I have wrong configuration on my pc, which single channel then I set ram speed manually on bios, but now it cannot booting, I try your simple method but still same, what should I do?

Hey man. I tried to make a custom resolution via Custom Resolution Utility around 4 months ago. However it failed, i’ve been stuck on the recovery menu for months now and still without anything working for me.. Do you have any idea how to fix this? I wish i could get back to gaming but with this it is impossible. Thanks

Nice but i have blue screen of death code 0xc0000017

Thank you so much for making this video!! so many other videos just say to "remove it" yet nobody shows what "It" is.

I had a problem...i had to install an amd radeon 6600 in my sistem and i just installed it, now turning on my pc, it turns on, light etc.. but with black screen, what can i do, i tried removing battery cmos and nothing...i removed the new gpu installed and nothing..PS I have an intel new integrated graphic HELP PLEASE

It worked! Subscribed to you sir!| at first I thought my PSU was faulty, but then I remembered something about CMOS, and I came across your video!

Love your vid man! Tried undervolting an i7 13700k and just kept getting black screen but pc turns on. The cmos battery tske out did the trick saves me a trip

Thanks man, really helpful!!

what happens if i remove it but later on put it back into the computer?

Thank you so much my integrated GPU is now working

So If I havd the cmso, will my computer remove everything, what's on it like Datas and everything?

Oh my god this is so helpful, I spent all day yesterday trying to get my pc to boot

Mac I have a bios password and I dont know how to remove it

Absolute legend. My PC wouldn't display on my monitor after I moved and I tried this and it worked!!! You saved me big time man. 👍👍👍

Just to be clear are cmos batteries always circle?

My pc was pretty much dead. I made it worse lol. Tried this and now the pc wont go beyond lighting up and waving it's fans briefly. Before it gave me a blank screen but was at least reacting briefly to the keyboard. Well next attempt is just taking everything out cleaning the dust and see if I remember where everything goes back. (Never took apart a pc before but it's just decoration at this point anyway)

hi i cant find my battery i have a msi infinity xp500

I think I messed up one of my motherboards by trying to attach faulty HDD. Now I have constantly system interrupts using 20% CPU. I switched every single part back and forth trying to find faulty part but only thing left was MB. Do you think this could fix that MB?

Estuve mirando varios vídeos y este fue el que finalmente resolvió mi problema con la "black screen" que grande man un saludo!

Thought I had a busted brand new GPU, turns out all I had to do was remove the CMOS. Thanks for the video!

I don’t see and circle or anything like that

My PC keeps turning off, then back on after resetting the cmos I can’t figure out why, I reset it because it was frozen on the logo screen

thanks bro for this help full video

Took out mb battery waited 15 m put it back still says enter bios admin pw???

It works but I need to do this everytime I boot

I have a Thinkpad with a dead CMOS, the only thing I have to bothered is to set the time and date before booting up.

Thanks bro, Can you make a video on how to fix 99error in pc loding screen

i just cant find that battery or whats is it

Hi, my computer was working fine. I closed it normally. Then after 3 hours i tried to turn it on again rgb lights on pc case and on the other parts were lightning, fans was turning but there was no signal on the monitor, keyboard and mouse lights are off, ethernet cable’s light is off. And fans are turning faster than their normal idle speed. I think it is a motherboard problem. I have removed the cmos battery waited 15 minutes but it did not solve my problem. I also tried removing and pulling rams and gpu and i have checked all the cables three times. This looks really weird. Nothing harmful happened to pc in between the three hour off period. Anyone has a suggestion? It is really frustrating.

I am messing with a weird dual amd gfx setup i got for cheap used, found dual gfx cards has issues with bios on startup and this was my only way to fix it! :D

Hey Will removing the battery, u said it will do a software reset, does that mean I lose all my files? Thanks

My psu was dying so i changed psu but my monitor showed no signal, i bought 16gb ram and tried this method but didnt work. What do i do?

Hey! I just upgrade my cpu and now my pc won't recognize my monitor. Everything is hook up correctly. I did your method from this video and nothing worked, monitor still isn't recognized. Any advice??

I can’t find the cmos battery on my ultra durable motherboard

Will this worked when my pc keeps turning on and off? Cause my pc keeps doing that everytime i turn it on

when I turn on my pc is goes right to bios menu. I can't get passed the bios. can someone help?

My SSD and my 3.5 HD do not show up on my MSI Bios. I’m trying to install a fresh windows from my flash drive. Will this help?

So one day I was gaming and my pc screen turns black, and for some reason the leds on my pc will fade on when turning the pc on but it does not do that regularly. This has happened once and the pc fixed itself but it is doing it again and I want a permanent fix. The monitor isn't the problem and I've tried reseating my ram.

So recently i was using my pc and all of a sudden it frozed.I restarted it and now it sends me straight into bios instead of windows.In the bios my ssd is not being detected but my hdd is there.So is it a motherboard problem or ssd?And my windows was in my ssd.I replaced my sata cables with the ssd’s and hdd’s still not detecting my ssd.And can i get a fresh windows install? Any type of help will be appreciated?

Would this fix my CPU? It I'd 100% doing simple tasks use g 4.20ghz while the base speed is 3.60ghz

Please help me bro I tried booting again and it started popping up

If my motherboard isn't getting power from my PSU (no boot), will this fix the issue or should I get the motherboard replaced?

I unplugged/blew on every cable possible, removed and sat the battery for 5 mins, and alternated my ram. Still my USB’s and HDMI ports dont work but the rest of the computer powers on

Omg you just save my life

I have one troubble. After i updated bios to new one, my bios restart every time when i turn off and turn on pc.

Can this battery be a problem still if it works or u know other ways to solve it?
