BF2S Forums Unusual computer problems

Have you checked to see if there's a newer BIOS version for your mobo?
I had a problem like that with my last one but it gave me the option to bypass whatever it was saying i had & start into Windows, happened everytime I rebooted. BIOS update fixed it though.
It's worth a try...

How do you reset your BIOS without a screen?

I wrote a really long answer to this but then the site went down when I tried to submit it & that was like forever ago so I can't remember what I said & won't have the time to look it up again for a few hours so this is just kinda/sorta a bump in the hopes that someone will know how to fix it off the top of their head (or at least see the thread).
btw I think moving the jumper cap is referred to as "jumping" (as opposed to actually hitting the "reset bios to defaults" button in your BIOS) & when people say they updated the drivers on their mobo it usually means they updated the CPU drivers because motherboards don't actually use drivers as far as I know, I think what would be the motherboard drivers are what BIOS are. I could be wrong either way but that's why i still asked if you had updated your BIOS.

What BIOS version are you using anyway?

Try replacing the mobo battery.  If the battery is bad, the bios will reset and start acting funny.  Take it from a guy who did it last month.

crack??

OP, when you say you're resetting your bios, you are entering your bios screen (usually esc, or F2 at system startup) and choosing "reset to defaults" or "reset to factory defaults"?  then "save and exit"?
The reset button on your computer's case is not a bios reset, it's a "system reset" and only reboots the system.

Isn't that what I said?

Moving the jumper resets the BIOS, as does removing the little battery. It resets the BIOS to default values.

The "motherboard drivers" are for the chipset (on the motherboard) not for the CPU.

Theres a little tab on your mobo that covers 2 of the 3 pins on the bottom of your mobo if you move it over to pin 1 and 2 for a few seconds then back to pin 2 and 3 it resets bios and i have already mentioned I have the latest drivers.

if u cant find it just unplug the power, take out the CMOS battery (it ll be circle and say 2032 on it)... leave it for about 5-10 mins.. put the battery back in plug it in and power up... it ll do the same thing as the pins
