Loading Default Values - Bios

One thing that can solve some problems is to do a BIOS reset.
Given that the BIOS does control all the components (as described in this previous post), if it happens a hardware conflict or a BIOS misconfiguration can cause all sorts of trouble.
 

There are two ways to do this process:
1 - Accessing BIOS and doing "load default values​​."
2 - Removing BIOS battery



1-
Press the HOME button
Press the F5 button
 




The first is quite easy to make and difficult to describe because the BIOS changes from computer to computer.
Here are two pictures of two different BIOS settings but the same brand.
At the bottom of the screen should appear an option that says "setup defaults", "load default values​​", "set default values" or something similar. Choose this option by pressing the indicated button.
After this, repeat the same operation for the option "save and exit", "Save changes and Exit" or some thing similar.













 2 - The second form is quite complicated if we are talking about notebooks / netbooks.


DESKTOP CMOS/BIOS BATTERY
LAPTOP CMOS/BIOS BATTERY 











LAPTOP CMOS/BIOS BATTERY

You have to open the computer and look for the BIOS battery, and  remove it. Then, with the computer unplugged press the on/off button for 20 seconds. Place the battery again and restart the computer.












If not solved the problem, look for other posts with the specific description of your problem to have more detail.
