Howto clear the CMOS:

0. Read your mainboard manual to locate the CMOS-Jumper
1. unplug the power
2. set CMOS-Jumper to his clear-position
3. remove the coin cell battery
4. wait 1-2 minutes
5. insert the coin cell battery
6. set CMOS-Jumper to his normal position
7. plug power
8. reboot PC, enter BIOS-Setup and load "Setup Defaults/Optimized settings"
9. save settings + reboot

If this instructions wont work, you must re-program the Bios-chip with an external eeprom-programmer,
or you can use our Flash-BIOS-Service to re-program your old chip, resp. buy a new Bios-Chip ;)
