I have been advised to remove the cmos battery and reset the bios when fitting a new Motherboard___!!! is this correct . Thanking all Regards From OZ > I have been advised to remove the cmos battery and reset the bios when > fitting a new Motherboard___!!! is this correct . Thanking all > Regards From OZ There are other ways of re-setting the motherboard to its factory default settings and this is by getting into bios setup and then saving to the default settings. However, the better alternative is to configure the bios settings to suit the actual construct of the computer on the first bootup. Open the motherboard manual, go to the bios section and then proceed accordingly. > I have been advised to remove the cmos battery and reset the bios when > fitting a new Motherboard___!!! is this correct .

You wouldn't bother with the battery at all. Malke  SignatureElephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Before installing a new mainboard, take 10 seconds and move the jumper. >>>I have been advised to remove the cmos battery and reset the bios when >>>fitting a new Motherboard___!!! is this correct .

Not good advice if anything should go wrong after opening the case and then a warranty issue surfaces. Better to be conservative, as suggested by Malke and Ghostrider. Optimize the bios setup for the computer and one's use of it. >> I have been advised to remove the cmos battery and reset the bios when >> fitting a new Motherboard___!!! is this correct .

I only "reset" the BIOS following the flashing of the BIOS, say when I received old stock with an out of date version. > I have been advised to remove the cmos battery and reset the bios when > fitting a new Motherboard___!!! is this correct .
