Ok I just build a new computer. Everything gets powered up. When i connect it to motherboard, nothing comes up. So then i remember that if you plug in speakers to the onboard sound system, it tells you what is wrong. When I hook it up, the voice says "system failed to do CPU overclocking". How am i overclocking if i just built it..... So wat is the problem?

Ok in my manual it says to remove onboard battery... wat is that?
 
Turn off the computer and unplug the electricity. Put the computer case flat on the desk. Open the computer case. Touch the OUTSIDE edge of the metal part of the case. This will prevent any static electricity from damaging parts.

Now, on the motherboard there is a battery that looks like a battery that you find in a wrist watch. There is usually a tab that holds it in....if so, move the tab with your fingers to release the battery. If not, you may need a screwdriver to pop it out. After taking it out for 10 seconds, put it back in, + side up.

Then put the cover back on your case. Set your computer back up. Plug power in. Turn on your computer. Your BIOS should say something about it being defaulted, or reset.

If this fixes the computer problem. Then enter your BIOS by hitting the F1, or maybe Esc key. Set your settings like Time and Date, hard drives, etc.

Set the CD drive to boot first in the boot order of devices in the BIOS.

When done, hit the Esc key and save the changes.

Put your operating system on the computer.

Enjoy your computer.
 
wow i am just shocked

I figured out wat the problem was. I dont need to do ne of that cmos stuff. I the memory into the wrong slots. Ur supposed to put them in 1 and 3 not 1 and 2. They were even color coded. I am just shocked at my stupidity.... :confused:

Don't feel bad. At least it's fixed! :)

Yes but that can be misinterpreted: do you put them into the same color first or one of each color? ;)
