This article will talk about ways in which you can reset the BIOS settings on your computer or laptop if any problems arise in its operation.
Useful articles on the topic
Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, you need to reset your computer's BIOS settings ( motherboard). These settings store most of the parameters that are responsible for the operation of the computer and all its devices. Below are several ways you can reset these settings to their default values:
Resetting BIOS settings via the BIOS menu
This method is suitable if you can access the BIOS when you turn on the computer. To do this, when you turn on the computer, press a special button, which is responsible for entering the BIOS settings "a. Most often, this button is Del button(Delete).
Further actions depend on the manufacturer of the motherboard and the BIOS in it. It should not be difficult to distinguish which BIOS is in the motherboard visually; just look at the explanatory pictures for the instructions for each type of BIOS.
Reset BIOS Settings in Award Bios
Using the keyboard, go to the “Load Optimized Defaults” item. Click Enter key, then when asked for confirmation, select “OK” using the keyboard arrows. Press Enter.
Now go to the "Save & Exit Setup" item. Press Enter, after which the computer should reboot and the BIOS settings should be reset.
Reset BIOS Settings in Phoenix Bios
Use the keyboard arrows (left, right) to go to the top menu tab called “Exit”.
There we find the item "Load Setup Defaults". Select it using the up and down arrows and press the Enter key. A window will appear in which you need to confirm your desire to reset the BIOS settings - select “OK” and press Enter.
Now you need to select "Exit & Save Changes".
Go there, press Enter, if it asks for confirmation, select “OK”, and press Enter again. The computer should restart and reset the BIOS settings.
Reset BIOS Settings in ASRock UEFI BIOS
IN top menu go to the "Exit" tab.
Select "Load UEFI Defaults".
To the question "Load UEFI Defaults?" We answer “Yes”.
Now select the “Save Changes and Exit” item.
To the next question in the form “Save configuration changes and exit setup?” We answer “Yes”.
After this, the BIOS settings will be reset and the computer will restart.
Resetting BIOS settings in ASUS UEFI BIOS
In maternal ASUS boards there are two UEFI interface- one was used on old motherboards released before about 2014, the second is used on all currently produced motherboards. Therefore, if you do not visually recognize the interface of your BIOs/UEFI, do not rush to close the page with these instructions, but simply scroll further.
First option
In the lower right corner, look for the “Default (F5)” button and click on it.
A window will appear asking you to confirm the action being performed. Select "OK".
Now the main menu will open in front of us again. In the upper right corner we find the "Exit/Advanced Mode" button and click on it.
Select "Save Changes & Reset".
The computer will reboot and the BIOS settings will be reset.
Second option
Press the F5 key, or the " Default (F5)" at the bottom of the screen.
In the window that appears, select " OK", or press the Enter key.
Then select " Save & Exit(F10)" (or press the F10 key).
And press again " OK", or the Enter key.
Reset BIOS Settings in MSI UEFI BIOS
In the BIOS main menu, select "Mainboard settings" ("Settings").
Select the item "Save & Exit".
In the menu that opens, select "Restore Defaults".
A window will appear asking you to confirm the action - “Load Optimized Defaults?” We answer "YES".
Now you need to exit, saving the reset BIOS settings. To do this, go to the “Save Changes and Reboot” item.
When asked if we really want to reboot - Save configuration and reset - we answer "YES.
The computer will then restart and its BIOS settings will be reset to default settings.
Resetting BIOS settings by removing the battery
First you need to turn off and unplug your computer.
To do this you need on the back side system unit find the power supply and turn it off special button. It is also a good idea to pull out the power cord from it; this is necessary if there is no power switch.
Inside you need to find a CR2032 round battery, most often it is located at the bottom of the motherboard. In order to remove the battery, you need to press the special holder.
After the battery is removed, you need to hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds. Since the system unit is de-energized, it will not turn on, but it will completely discharge any existing accumulated electricity in the computer. At the same moment, the BIOS settings will be reset.
Now you can close the system unit by returning the cover to its place, plug in the power cord and turn on the power supply, after which you can turn on the computer.
Resetting BIOS settings via jumper
We de-energize the system unit by turning off the power supply with a special switch located near the entrance to the power cord.
Next, remove the cover of the system unit and get inside the computer. Now we are looking for a special jumper on the motherboard. It looks like a blue (in most cases) jumper that is connected to two pins; there should be three pins in total. Typically, such a jumper is labeled as “Clear CMOS”, “CLR”, “CLEAR”, “PSSWRD”.
