A BIOS factory reset is the process of restoring your computer's basic input-output system (BIOS) to its default settings. This is usually the method to use when you are experiencing some issues or need to reset your BIOS settings. A factory reset can fix some of the troubles related to hardware compatibility, boot issues, or other BIOS settings.
To do a BIOS factory reset, you can follow the steps below:
First, restart your computer and go to the BIOS settings interface. Normally, you can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing the DEL, F2, F10, or other specified keys when the computer is turned on. The exact keys may vary depending on the make and model of your computer, so check your computer's user manual or manufacturer's ** for accurate information.
Once in the BIOS settings screen, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate to the "Exit" option and select "Load Setup Defaults" or similar.
Confirm that you want to do a factory reset. After you choose to load the default settings, you may be prompted to confirm this action. Note that a factory reset will erase all custom BIOS settings and restore them to factory defaults.
Save and exit the BIOS settings. After confirming the factory reset, select "S**e and Exit" or a similar option to save the changes and restart your computer.
Please note that doing a BIOS factory reset may result in the loss of some settings, so make sure you back up your important data and settings before doing this.
