Bios and reformat help needed

Solution


Oh well then in that case you don't need to flash the BIOS, as your systems BIOS doesn't change unless you want it to.

You can just go into CMOS setup by holding down the proper key (it's usually either the delete key or F1) as the system is starting up and there should be a choice where it says something like "Load default configuration", hit enter on that and then just save it.

This reverts all changes made to BIOS back to the way it was when the system was built.

Reformatting your OS has nothing to do with the BIOS, unless you're taking about BIOS flashing which i wouldn't recommend doing unless you really have to, especially if you're new at it, you don't want to end up with a motherboard as a paper weight.

I have the same motherboard btw.:)

BIOS flashing can certainly screw with your system if you are not careful and could definitly leave you having to buy a new motherboard.

But what is "standard settings"?, are you saying you just want to revert back to stock settings? or are you saying to want to move to a different BIOS?, if so then yes, you need to take precaution as mentioned.
