OMFG!!!! This really saved my life!!! Ohmygod!! I went to a technician to have my PC checked but they said that my video card and motherboard is faulty and needs replacement and then I stumbled upon your video!!!!! You're such a life and money saver!! Hahaha SUPER THANK YOU!!! ❤❤❤
HAHAHA !! They were trying to sell you brand new computer parts ! Just like a sketchy auto dealership. Just a FYI, 2 parts _almost never fail_ at the same time... unless there’s a serious power surge with no protector
Most big name PC companies outside of private businesses will scam you. I have dealt with 3 privately owned PC repair businesses to fix issues not related to this and they all mentioned it was just one small little thing which they fixed in 5 minutes and only charged £10 at most.
Worked. I switched my graphics card for a one I got for Christmas and it didn't show on my monitor on the onboard graphics, as expected, and showed on my TV plugged into the graphics. It wouldn't even show half the time, but did this and it showed on onboard, switched something to auto, and then they both booted up. Thanks, my uncle sent me the PC and said "didn't have time to replace the motherboard battery so here's a new one!" Thanks best uncle!
I was watching studies of corrupted BIOS fixes, turned out i just need to power it off by removing the bettery. Actually i had the same idea, but i wouldn't bet on it. Thanks a lot!
retired tech what you did will work but actually the boot menu is loading and you can't see it because its sending it to the on board graphics port not your better graphic card . Just turn off the computer attach the monitor to the on board graphics port turn back on the computer and problem solved . This through me for a loop as well until I figured it out. Couldn't test my recovery media untill I did this.
The same thing happen again this year (May 6, 2022). After updating the BIOS, it won't boot up, try the same approach, and it works and the PC was able to boot up, but my SSD is totally destroyed had to replace another SSD, Does anybody why my SSD is toasted? Because of updating my BIOS?

I'm running an ASUS Maximus Hero VIII MoBo and lost the ability to open the BIOS on boot-up after I over-clocked my rig a tad too far and kept getting blue-screened. I used Zack's method and surprise, it worked and I was able to tune down the OC to where it is now perfectly stable. Thank-you Zack!
Thank you sir. I feel like this should have been generaly obvious to me (not trying to sound like an ass) because If your bios loses power it resets to default, therefor giving your bios prompt screen back
VERY helpful video. I haven't tried this yet but I just wanted to say you have potential to become a very good content creator, just invest in some better cameras and lightning when you can afford it and that should get your ball rolling. GJ mate : ]
On a new motherboard, use the onboard video(if you have a cpu with integrated graphics) rather than a video card to see the bios screen. Once into the bios find the setting that chooses the video card as the primary display. Next reboot the boot screen should default to the video card. Not all bios' auto detect a display on a video card.
I have an HP 8200. My computer stopped displaying, stopped booting, stopped showing bios because my cmos battery actually fell out of the computer. Was moving stuff to new place.. I placed in a new cmos battery and still no display/boot. However, after inspecting the motherboard I've noted the HP 8200 has a cmos button reset. I connected the computer to monitor and power, left the PC Box open, and while the PC was running I pressed the cmos reset button. Voila, computer booted up. I suggest if you still can't get computer to boot up after replacing CMOS battery, that you look at the motherboard and determine if there's a CMOS reset button on motherboard. Especially if you have an HP related PC.........supposedly you should have computer off and press button for 5 seconds, officially. So, I can only tell you what worked for me.
Hey.. can you help me? I just accidentally changed Dram Frequency.. and now my screen won't turn on.. And I already trying your trick.. but nothing happens please help me 😔
It didnt work for me, I still dont get any kind of image on my monitor when I turn on my PC. I actually put a new battery in and it still doesnt work. I dont even get a boot screen
@@diegorojas307 Yea, i got it looked at by a specialist, it ended up being that the CPU wasn't put in right ( The CPU Fan was too loosely put on I think, so reinstall you CPU and Fan maybe) and the RAM was also put in wrong. Hope this helps (:
Why i didn't think of that? I accidentally switched the Legacy to UEFI or vice versa when tinkering with bios, that's the last thing I remember. Thanks for this video such a time saver.
The problem I'm having is, the USB keyboard doesn't power on until after the bios screen shows No power no F2 spam I have all the current drivers. Tried all the ports All ports work. They are just too slow to power on
The option that skips the BIOS is Windows fast boot, not sure if that’s on Windows 11. But it makes a kernel of the last booted Windows to make booting up faster. You can disable this in Windows settings If you do this trick and still don’t see anything, it could be your GPU not communicating with your motherboard UEFI interface. Nvidia has a patch for that but check other things first because firmware updates can be risky I heard If your PC isn’t booting into Windows, another option is to turn power off, bridge the CLR CMOS (2 pin header on mobo) with a screwdriver for 10 seconds, then when you power up, wait 30 seconds and hit F1 to enter BIOS, then wait 10 seconds, then hit F5 to restore defaults and F10 to save & exit
You are a genius! My fans were running full blast and I couldn't access BIOS to adjust them. Did this and BIOS reset and just that itself solved the fan problem AND I can now access BIOS! Thank you!!
OMG OMG MATE I F*****G LOVE YOU AH MAN, MY FIRST EVER PC I RAN INTO THIS HAVE BEEN TROUBLESHOOTING FOR 2 DAYS MISSED SLEEP AND BACK IS KILLING FROM ALL THIS STANDING. IF YOU HAVE NOT TRIED THIS BLOODY TRY IT.
Stopping by to say thank you so much. This is working. 💯💯💯👍 Its been 2 weeks, trying to solve this issue. Some info for those who cant make it work, that means the battery is fully dead. I buy new one, & it fix the problem
This is a fix to reset the "Real Time Clock" which can cause this error, dell for example has a quick fix to hold the powerbutton on for 30seconds for a reset so that you don't need to fiddle on the circuit board!
Yes of course it is, I was explaining what removing the battery on the motherboard actually does, and that it is fairly common, enough so that some brands make an easier and safer fix because of this.
it didnt work, i tried taking out the battery and putting it back in, when i turn on my pc its just black and then shows the login screen and doesnt show bios
Hello, I have a "3.3 volts FAIL" displayed on my bios, but the PSU voltages are all okay!, the start display is flickering And can't get Windows, please help

Do u have to be connected to WiFi to do this
The problem I have is that every time I try to open bios it never shows the displays but I can hear that it opened
Wtf? now not only can i not enter bios but now the pc wont even boot to windows 10.
You might have to resign your main hard drive to boot first in the booting menu in the bios.

Reseat your ram, cpu, and gpu. Make sure there are no shorts in the cables. Clear cmos etc.
