What is the easiest way to reset my D8B motherboard BIOS?
After holding the Delete key at boot you will enter the Motherboard BIOS. Here you will see an option called Load Default BIOS Settings. If you are unable to get into the BIOS (say you set a password and forgot it) you can pull the Clear CMOS jumper off the motherboard – found between the BIOS EPROM and the battery. Move the jumper over one position. Pull the power cable and let the computer sit for 5 or 10 minutes, then move the jumper back to its original position. BIOS should now be reset. Remember, you still need to modify the BIOS for the D8B. Note: You can also remove the battery from the mother board. In some cases, you must let the motherboard sit for more than a few hours so the EPROM can be drained. Once drained, the BIOS will revert back to its default setting. Also, if the battery it is low on power, it needs to be replaced. Battery life expectancy is 3 to 5 years. If the unit has been stored (or turned off) for an extended period – battery life is shortened dramatically. S
