Here are is the basic procedure to clearing your CMOS. It is important to understand that clearing the CMOS will: -Restore BIOS's default settings. It is important to understand that clearing the CMOS will not: -Restore the original BIOS code (will not revert back to the original bios version). Old CMOS clearing method.
Important Note: For AMD Ryzen, AM4 platform skip Step 1 and Step 2, do not remove power, just shutdown the system before Clear the CMOS Step 1: (Skip this step for AMD Ryzen, AM4 platform) Disconnect the main AC power by either shutting off the power button on the back of your power supply or simply pulling out the power cable. Step2: (Skip this step for AMD Ryzen, AM4 platform) Wait a minute to be sure all the capacitors and coils have discharged. To be really safe you can press the power button which will drain the capacitors for sure. Step3: Move the CMOS jumper to the clear position, this is usually done on MSI boards by moving JBAT1 from it's original 1-2 position to 2-3 position as demonstrated in the photo below. If you are not sure or have a non MSI board you must find the correct jumper in your motherboard manual. Step4: Wait a minute to be sure the CMOS has been cleared. Step 5: Return the CMOS jumper to it's original position.
Step6: Restore power to the system. New CMOS clearing method. Important Note: For AMD Ryzen platform skip Step 1 and Step 2, do not remove power, just shutdown the system before Clear the CMOS Step 1: (Skip this step for AMD Ryzen, AM4 platform) Disconnect the main AC power by either shutting off the power button on the back of your power supply or simply pulling out the power cable.
Step2: (Skip this step for AMD Ryzen, AM4 platform) Wait a minute to be sure all the capacitors and coils have discharged. To be really safe you can press the power button which will drain the capacitors for sure. Step3: Press the clear CMOS button on the back of the I/O panel. Step4: Wait a minute to be sure the CMOS has been cleared. Note: It is also recommended to remove CMOS battery to ensure 100% CMOS clear on Big Bang X & Intel 6x Sandy Bridge MB's. If date/time do not revert to original time of MB manufacture then you didn't get a complete clear CMOS. Step5: Restore power to the system.
Also I wold like to add, on the K7N2 Delta, resetting the bios will NOT reset the bus/fsb to default, so if you were unfortunate like me, and overclocked the FSB to high, and the computer refuses to boot, you need to move another jumper, that enables the motherboard's 'Safe Mode'. I belived that my mother board was broken/faulty and was about to RMA it, since I coldnt find a reffrence to this jumper in the manual that shipped out with my board. After three long days with a dead motherboard, I had done just about everything i could think off.
I only found the solution by chanse when I read a Review of the mother board. Iv'e later seen others here on the forum with the same problem. Some actually RAM'ed their motherboard.
This is the J10jumper, wich wil set the fsb to 100 mgz when in safe mode. Short pins 2-3 and 'user settings'(default) if you short pins 1-2.
Digital wd2500xms driver. The 'safe mode' jumper is placed just behind the USB connectors on the mother board.

« on: 19 October 2004, 11:54:07 am » - As some of you will be aware there is no safe mode jumper J10 on the K7N2 Delta2 series of boards. This has been replaced by the 'insert' key method as used by Abit and Epox. To start your board at its default settings following an unsuccessful overclocking attempt you need to do the following using a ps2 keyboard. Turn off your machine and disconnect from the mains or turn off the switch on the back of the power supply. Press the front panel power switch several times to discharge any charge remaining in the power supply capacitors. Reconnect the power by plugging into wall socket or turning on psu power switch. Press and hold down 'insert' on the keyboard and press the case front panel power switch.
If you are successful it should start the cpu and memory at 100Mhz FSB. If it does press 'delete' to reenter the bios to change your settings to known safe settings.

A moderator (sorry, don't remember who) suggested that I press the key many times instead of holding it down. That worked for me. Try both ways before giving up. Note that the 'psu power switch' that is referred to is the switch on the back of the case, on the power supply.
It is NOT the switch on the front of the case. The wording above is completely correct, but still some people have misintrepreted it because they didn't realize there is a switch on the back of most power supplies. This is an excellect post, it sure saved me. I didn't see anything about this procedure in the manual. Sanyo pm 8200 battery. Thank you, everyone who helped on this. Hello, on the 'how to clear the CMOS' video it's showing also to remove the BIOS battery for a few seconds after moving the CMOS jumper to clear position and back. But in the text description under the video the BIOS battery removal step is not written, only the CMOS jumper move.
So should I also move out and back the BIOS battery as well, or doing the CMOS jumper step is enough? My motherboard is a P55-GD65 (MS-7583) ver.1.0., and the user manual is only talking about the CMOS jumper, nothing about the BIOS battery. I don't understand this. The manual says: 'The flash itself will only take a couple of seconds (20-30s at the most).
If the flashing is successfully completed, shutdown the system and clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU. Read the Clear CMOS Guide. On my Z77A-G45 (Ivy Bridge), I've found that to get a full CMOS reset (clear time and date) a special combination of both methods are required. I've tested a few times and found the following to work 100% of the time: Please read each step carefully, same as the original post. As with the original post, I, nor this forum can be held responsible if you damage your system.
However, I have tested this 5 times on my MSI Z77A-G45 (each time, I'd set the time to something random so that I knew the time was being reset). Do not skip any steps!

Step 1: Disconnect the main AC power by either shutting off the power switch on the back of your power supply or simply pulling out the power cable. Step2: With Power supply switched OFF or Disconnected, press power as if you were going to power up the board. For my specific board and case, it will wait about 2-5 seconds then try to turn on, lighting up the power LED. This LED then slowly fades off. Wait at least 20 seconds after pressing power before proceeding to step 3. Step3: Remove the CMOS battery Step 4: This part is a little tricky, as you will need a, possibly from another device.

MSI does not provide any with the Z77A-G45, as they are not required for everyday usage, and JBAT1 is only 2 pins, which are to be unbridged during normal usage. Bridge JBAT1 by placing the jumper on the 2 pins.
Ms-7301 Ver 1
Step 5: While the jumper is on JBAT1, press and hold the clear CMOS button on the back of the I/O panel for 10 seconds (I've found 10 seconds to be the most reliable. 3 seconds only reset the date and time once out of 3 tests, where 10 seconds worked 5 times out of 5).
Step 6: After 10 seconds, release the button, and remove the jumper from JBAT1. Do not forget this! Step 7: Replace CMOS Battery Step 8: Switch on or plug power supply back in, and start up your system. You will get the 'Press F1 to enter setup', and your time should be set to 00:00.
Summary: On my MSI Z77A-G45, I've found I had to use both JBAT1 and the reset button to get a full clear. Notes: This wipes all the settings, and the date & time, but does not seem to wipe the 'Overclocking Profiles'. Also, regarding step 4, you may be thinking that you can just short JBAT1 with anything conductive (such as a small flat head screwdriver). Technically you could do step 4 without a jumper. However, I would not recommend this because it may be difficult to short the pins AND hold the reset button simultaneously. Your hand may slip in the process, and could damage the board.
Thanks SVET, zefie, and Froggy Gremlin for posting this information! As an avid computer geek with an MS in engineering you would think this process was very simple and easy to do but after reading through this thread I realized that I've never actually properly cleared the CMOS on my Z77A-GD65 (despite two BIOS updates)! Of course after each flash I assumed I was clearing the CMOS (physically unplugged my PSU, pushed on-board PWR button to fully release energy from components, waited at least 30s, and pushed the I/O backpanel Clear CMOS button but only for approx 2s). Although I assumed I was clearing the CMOS (because I followed the owners manual not to mention the basic process I've always used for clearing the CMOS on motherboards) my clock/date was never reset - although all my BIOS settings went to default! Unfortunately I've got an SLI setup currently that is watercooled so removing the battery and shorting the JBAT1 pins is all but impossible without removing my cards which will be a massive PITA!
In anycase thanks guys for posting this information, at the very least I now know what I need to do!
