1.	Solve : Help- Computer Not booting unless Cmos Is Jumped?
Answer» Ok, I just unplugged all my computer hardware and moved it from my old case to my new one, aswell as putting in a new 80 gig Hard drive and a new 1 gig stick of ram. At first when I attempted to start the computer it said it had a bios error and I should insert a system boot floppy disk, but when I put in my boot disk it would just read and not do anything. So then I decided to try and jump my CMOS Jumper, that seemed to work, and the computer started up like normal, except it said the Cmos data was cleared and default was loading, and I should recustomize it. I decided to leave it at default, and loaded windows, did the normal Email check, then shut down the COMP. I then discovered LATER, that the Comp would power up, but not load anything, not even go to the load up screen. I then decided to try jumpin the CMOS, then the comp started fine, and it now seams, to get the comp to start and run, I need to rejump the CMOS before starting up the comp. Any Help Is greatly appreciated. If you need exact Comp specs just let me know. Please post exact computer specs, don't exactly know what the problem is yet, maybe the specs will help. Except for the case, the only things that changed is the memory and another HD. So, take out the HD and memory and see what happens."jumpin the CMOS" is really too vague for comprehension. What exactly have you done? A project like this should be done gradually. When you change this many variables and something doesn't work you are left to wonder where to start. How about one stick RAM, 1 hard drive, no optical drives, no add in cards except VIDEO if needed. What happens now?Well i know what he means by jump the CMOS On most Mother Boards there is A Jumper(Two Metal Pins and a Jacket(Jumper)) For Resting the Bios to factory Settings , How ever why you would need this to be in the "Jumped" position to start your computer is very odd. in most cases the computer wont Boot White it is jumped , and you then need to remove the jumper to get it to start Maby you have the operation of your bios backward, it could be that when a jumper is present that operations are normal, and when no jumper is present that it resets to factory?Quote Well i know what he means by jump the CMOS On most Mother Boards there is A Jumper(Two Metal Pins and a Jacket(Jumper)) For Resting the Bios to factory Settings , How ever why you would need this to be in the "Jumped" position to start your computer is very odd. in most cases the computer wont Boot White it is jumped , and you then need to remove the jumper to get it to start Maby you have the operation of your bios backward, it could be that when a jumper is present that operations are normal, and when no jumper is present that it resets to factory? my motherboard has this "jumper" at TIMES i will try to boot and it will just read the dvd burner drive, over and over and over and over and into eternity if i let it, i have to reset the bios when this happens, it is quite annoying, i have to set it to boot pci video device first, then set the onboard videos shared memory to 16 mb so it wont rob 32 megs of my ram, and i have to reset the boot sequence, also i turn off the shut down tempature, and set it to beep instead, i got tired of it geting to what i consider an unsafe temp (120 degrees farenhite) and shutting down in the middle of what im doing, which was usually gaming....

It may damage the motherboard.And especially not with jumper cables. my motherboard comes stock with a lil LIME green jumper on the board, i have to move it over a notch, hit the power switch, mover it back to its default place, turn on the computer, and viola, BIOS is reset to default... havnt had to do that in a couple months, im hoping my computer isnt going to make me have to do that again

On most Mother Boards there is A Jumper(Two Metal Pins and a Jacket(Jumper)) For Resting the Bios to factory Settings ,

How ever why you would need this to be in the "Jumped" position to start your computer is very odd. in most cases the computer wont Boot White it is jumped , and you then need to remove the jumper to get it to start

Maby you have the operation of your bios backward, it could be that when a jumper is present that operations are normal, and when no jumper is present that it resets to factory?Quote

my motherboard has this "jumper" at TIMES i will try to boot and it will just read the dvd burner drive, over and over and over and over and into eternity if i let it, i have to reset the bios when this happens, it is quite annoying, i have to set it to boot pci video device first, then set the onboard videos shared memory to 16 mb so it wont rob 32 megs of my ram, and i have to reset the boot sequence, also i turn off the shut down tempature, and set it to beep instead, i got tired of it geting to what i consider an unsafe temp (120 degrees farenhite) and shutting down in the middle of what im doing, which was usually gaming....
