Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

Do not do as balamm just said.

See page 2-20 in the manual from here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manu...10&NAME=MS-6373

Follow those instuctions to 'Clear CMOS'

This isn't gonna help you, cause you don't know where on your MB to find this. Move jumper from set positions 1&2 to 2&3 for 5 sec then back. Or vice versa.

That's right. Just connect for 5 secs or more and the put the jumper back where it was. Turn the power back on and try it.
Please tell us if it works.

movein the jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 4 5 secs

In my manual it says:

U can clear CMOS by shortin 2-3 pin while the system is off

Does this mean off at the mains or off as in power still on after press the on button?

There's a battery on the motherboard.

It looks like a large watch battery.

Pry it out.

Where the battery would connect,

connect those two points together with something metal for FIVE seconds.

Or- Put the battery in backwards for five seconds.
