Hi gang,
Incredibly dumb of me, but I've managed to completely lock myself out of my machine. I was playing with the power management/fan settings in the BIOS last night, and activated the "if fan gets too hot then shutdown cpu" (default setting is "throttle").
Bye bye home server!
Everytime I start up the machine, it doesn't even make it to the POST area...it simply beeps once, then shuts down.
I tried removing the battery from the motherboard, but that didn't seem to make any difference..
Is there another way to reset the BIOS/CMOS back to factory settings? Perhaps a jumper switch or something??
I've got an AMD cpu running on an Award motherboard.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me!!
