So I got a VR headset today and while trying to make it work on my pc I did some messing around in the UEFI settings. In my unending wit I accidentally seem to have disabled my GPU because I misread what the setting would do. I am an absolute noob in all matters computer and so am at a loss about what I have to do to make my pc work correctly again. Any help will be welcome.

    If you don’t have an onboard display to plug into, open your PC, pull the CMOS battery for 30s, and plug it back in. This will reset all your settings to factory defaults.

      Do this one op, nice and simple. It’s a smooth, shiny circle about the size of a US quarter somewhere on the surface of your motherboard and should pop right off

      Many fancy motherboards have a button to reset these settings as well. Often the bios settings are referred to as CMOS settings as well.

        Yeah, but it’s almost pointless to give an “if, then, elsif, elsif” scenario if just removing the battery does the same thing, and all motherboards have a battery for the CMOS.
