cmos reset
turn the computer off
remove the power lead from the back
take the side off
remove the cmos battery
move the cmos jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pin 2 and 3 and the back to pins 1 and 2
reinsert the battery
put the side on
replug in the power lead
boot the computer

there can be 2 solder points you touch with a screwdriver
2 pins you touch with a screwdriver or use a jumper
a cmos clear switch or button
there will be a diagram and instructions in your manual

hey dai,
i have tried something else
based on the faq's ive read on gigabyte. it says that i need to update my bios, and thats what i did. i dowloaded the latest bios for my motherboard then save it to a usb for a qflash on the startup and well it did update on startup and it did work my boot menu seems to respond, but when i restart and unplug the usb and press f12, i still got the same problem , it freezes like forever,,any ideas???..hmmmmmm

by the way im scared on doing ure suggestions maybe i will try that later. im no expert on handling hardware,.another thing my motherboard is gigabyte ga g31m s2c, and currently running in windows xp pro sp2..tnx.
