Swimmer Posted February 3, 2004 CID Share Posted February 3, 2004 complementary metal oxide semiconductor. see the battery on your mobo?? it powers the cmos to keep track of the date, time, and the setup stuff such as ram timings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorne Posted February 4, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 4, 2004 Thanks guys yeah i see the battery, so the reason i couldn't access my CPU speed in BIOS is 2 of the DIP switches were on. So i turned them off and started my comp and i couldn't get into windows or BIOS. I was stuck on a black screen that listed master cylinders IDE connection etc.... Took me forever to get back into windows, I finally got into BIOS after hours of trying then into windows from there. Although i have little idea how i did it. Any ideas why this happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortiorchis Posted February 4, 2004 CID Share Posted February 4, 2004 Uhh! Don't screw with any switches on your motherboard (or jumpers for that matter) unless you know their purpose! So let me get this straight, it lets you OC it now? Cuz if it's OEM most manufacturers put a BIOS based lock on the softmenu to prevent OCing a system. Otherwise they could've been weird and used a jumper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorne Posted February 4, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 4, 2004 With this particular motherboard all the DIP switches must be off or it disables jumper free mode. In the manual it says to enable jumper free mode turn all DIP switches off. The only thing that should have happened when I turned those switches off and started my computer is it should have taken me to BIOS for setup. No i still can't OC because after it happened I put the swithes back on. I am gonna try again in the morning. Weird I just don't know why it did that.

lorne Posted February 4, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 4, 2004 On my mobo it says to reset cmos to short solder points. What does that mean I have been trying to figure out what it means, the only thing i can think of is that it means bridge the gap between the points with something. But I am not going to try anything until I find out forsure what this means. I don't want a repeat of the other day where it took hours to get into BIOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 5, 2004 CID Share Posted February 5, 2004 I believe that mean shorting the points.... Yeah... I wouldnt do anything you are playing with a store boug ht pc.. not the best overclocking material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorne Posted February 6, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 6, 2004 Yeah the only problem with it is if you get a unbalanced load it will hop across the floor and unplug itself, and the outflow water tube sprays water all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
