DaCrazyCageMan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Hey guys, I decided to join this forum since I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to motherboards and need a little help. So I was tampering with things I shouldn't have been and ended up disabling my onboard intel graphics card, now my screen has gone completely black and doesn't even show the bios screen when I reboot, I have been seeking to find out exactly what I need to do and saw related posts where people are removing the small coin battery and resetting the bios through the cmos jumper pins in order to fix it, I tried this however was unable to find any jumper pins on my motherboard, I can see where it says cmos but there are no seemingly removable parts near that area, I was able to remove the battery and it was disconnected for about 20 minutes while I was trying to locate the jumper, I was hoping that putting the battery back in after a little time out would work but it didn't, my motherboard is the Gigabyte H87M-HD3. Any help would be much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCrazyCageMan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Update: I found the manual to locate the cmos, instead of having 3 pins where 2 are covered, it just had 2 bare pins next to each other, the manual said to touch both pins at the same time with something like a screw driver, I attempted this a few times along with different combinations and steps which some also included removing the small coin battery, but to no success I still have a black screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpikeSoprano Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Also make sure it's not something simple like your monitor being powered off ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCrazyCageMan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Ha ha its always the smallest issue that gets in the way, the problem was that once I had reset my bios I plugged in my HDMI cable via the motherboard not my Graphics card.

wevsspot Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 That's the primary reason that sometimes it seems like experienced builders ask the silliest questions when someone poses a problem and asks for help. It's not that we are trying to offend or embarrass anyone, but we've all been guilty of assuming worst case scenario while over-looking the simplest of solutions Glad that you got it sorted and welcome to the OCC community forums.
