I have an MSI mobo and a amd xp 2100+. Today i decided to overclock it, i got it to 135 mhz. Then i decided to change the multipler from 13 to 14. I set the fsb back to 133 and then changed it. The computer then rebooted, there is hard drive activity but the screen is blank. I would like to know how to reset my bios. Thanks for your help.

Check in your mobo manual on how to reset cmos. It should be a jumper on the mobo.

Welcome to the forums!

Do you have an idea of the mobo manufacturer and model number.

There may be something printed on the board that tells you which jumper clears the CMOS. It varys by board, so that's about all the advice I can give you. If you know the model of the board, you can download a manual from MSI's website.

Okay, check this link:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=11
It shoukd be MSI's paage about the KT3 Ultra and KT3 Ultra-ARU. Among the links on the left is a link to this page:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=11
where you can download the manual for your board.

MSI is has a stupid cmos reset protcal. Dumb as hell. Turn machine off set a jumper.. booot,, set defaults in bios... reboot shut down, move jumper again. reboot and go back into cmos and set it all back up again... Will never own another board again by MSI. Lack luster bios and stupid stuff like that mess to reset a bios.... damn stupid company imo....

Click to expand...

But on the other hand the ability to force a boot and bios update by holding Ctrl-home might come in handy (K7T266pro2).
