It's either a jumper that you move over a couple of pins or removing a watch sized battery for about 30 seconds. That will set everything in BIOS back to default values.

u need to reinstall windows, windows saves ur hardware configuration and if u change something then u may have to reinstall windows

This is not really related to the problem you have but you MAY face it once you get past this whole bios stage. (And yes, Flashing your CMOS will most likely fix the problem i believe).

If you have your old CPU, this should fix the problem

Let us know how it goes.

I have my old CPU, but it's broken. It's now like a 475.5 pin, lol. One pin is missing and 2 others are bent. My friend told me my mobo might not even support Prescott CPUs...

[spazmire11]

and he is very right some s478 mobos dont support prescots

if you had a lot of time on your hands you could get that 475.5 pin proc working but thats alot of effort

just get a new motherboard

like this:

this is one of the better motherboards from what i have heard

I get my stuff from NCIX.com and I'll be getting a DFI board when I can afford it.

I'm getting this DFI mobo soon.
