Ok there are two ways to do that.\n1. Remove the CMOS Battery from the motherboard.\nSo you need to open the case and you should see a thin battery,just remove it for 1min and than put it back and bios should now be reset.\n2. Some motherboard has a jumper (pin) to the clear the cmos.\n\nThe removing of the battery works almost all the time. If it doesnt work please update your post with the specific e-machines model you have so I can better help you.

Look for the BIOS maker and version when you boot up. Once you have that, you can go to the BIOS manufacturer's website and download (or purchase if it's a hardware BIOS) the update. The site should also have instructions on how to perform the update.\n\nGood luck!

Actually there is another step you need to check:\n\nyou might wanna check your BIOS setting if even the USB ports are activated   :D\n\nTo get into BIOS, when you start your computer, you should see something like "press f1 for setup", or "press del for setup", etc.\n\nBE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE CHANGING SETTING IN BIOS. ANY WRONG SETUP MIGHT MAKE YOUR COMPUTER FAILING TO STARTUP. MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE CHANGES BEFORE EXIT.\n\nHope it helps....

Start - Run- DXDIAG\n\nThe bios version is unlikely to be recorded on the motherboard.

Most of the time you can overlock through the BIOS. You can also try to use some software called Clockgen .

There might be some Error in bios configuration so it asks you to press F1 so that bios can be reseted.. If you have changed anything in bios without knowledge then correct it or else follow the steps\n\n1) Go to bios by pressing\n   F2 for onboard Intel chipset, Del for original Intel motherboard\n2) Reset the bios\n\n3) Save settings and exit by pressing F10\n\n4) system gets restart, if problem dosent stops then you mail me back with the details

if you're confident with taking a laptop to bits then you'll need to clear the cmos. the cmos is what stores the bios settings. there's a battery inside like a large watch battery. there should be some pins nearby with jxx (j=jumper and xx= a number) written on the motherboard. the pins should have a bit of plastic on between two of them. check in the manual for the correct settings to clear the cmos but if not then if it's on pins 1+2, try putting the jumper on pins 2+3 then leave it here for about 10 mins to be sure before switching it back. this will short circuit the battery and return the bios to default settings.\n\nif there's no jumpers near the cmos battery then you'll have to remove the battery itself. just pull the battery and and again leave it out for 10-15 minutes before returning it. \n\nhopefully the password should then have cleared

You need to reset your BIOS. There's an option inside your BIOS to reset itself, but I'm guessing that since your monitors aren't working, you cant get into your BIOS. \n\nThe other way of resetting your BIOS is to cut power to it. This is a little tricky. On your motherboard there is a battery. It looks like a watch battery except it's much bigger, like the size of a quarter. Pull the battery out, wait like three minutes, put the battery back in. Your BIOS should now be reset.\n\nJust so you know, on most hard drives there are jumpers on the back of them that control if they're slaves or master drives. Sometimes the drives even have little diagrams explaining how the jumpers work (if not, download the manual off of their web sites). Just set the BIOS to auto detect your hard drives.

Forget all that!..\n\nWhat you need to do is open-up the P.c, and reset the BIOS.\n\nThis is VERY SIMPLE! - all thats involed is moving a jumper, and moving it back a few seconds later (With the computer turned OFF!)\n\nCheck online for the exact location of the Jumper you need to swap. Just goto you Mobo's Manufacturers Website\n\nRegards, Mikeo =)

Few things to try \n\nTry entering safemode - usually tapping the f5 key when starting up - then select safemode - \nif this works and you get a display - go into the device manager (press the windows icon button plus the pause break key - then select hardware > device manager) \nclick on the plus next to the display adaptors - highlight your display adaptor then right click on it and uninstall)\nrestart your conputer and see if this helps\n\nif you enter safemode and the display switches off - try entering the bios - when you get the splash screen it should tell you which key to press (enter setup)  \ndoes your screen go blank in this - if so you have a hardware problem -\n\nif you can check your setting within the bios - load the optimised defaults or defaults and try again\n\ngive this a go and good luck\n\n\nPS - also try a ATX reset -\nremove your battery and the power cable from your laptop \npress and hold the power button in for about 30 seconds - this will remove any static build up on the MOBO\nPower back on and see if this works

When you turn on your PC, you may see a message on the screen like this: "Press F2 to run setup" / "Press DEL to enter setup" depending on which motherboard you are using. \nPress the required key and go to BIOS setup. Go to the Power tab and select, after power failure --> Stay off. Save the settings and reboot your PC.

if your bios supports it you will have to put a password lock in there in order to do it. then remember to change your boot function as well. \n\nI could possibly guide you through it if i knew the type of bios you have...

Ooooooooh \ntack it easy...\n 1) first make sure that every thing is fixed correctly and if necessary re-assemble the PC.\n 2) reset the BIOS (remove battery or by jumpier)\n 3) finally Chick the power supply (SMPS) connections or change it.\n\nGOOD LUCK

On the motherboard there should be a jumper to reset the bios, short it and turn on the computer.  Or you can remove the motherboard's battery for a couple hours to clear the bios.
