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.

    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.

          Never seen that, and I build with hundreds of variants from all the big manufacturers. Haven’t seen that once in a PC, Laptop, or SFF.

            i last saw it the last time i was a system admin tasked w spec-ing out hardware for our offices in austin, ft. lauderdale, denver, and inland empire and i remember being surprised at how much worse they were than the thinkpads i had grown accustomed to supporting as front line tech in mountain view 10 years before that.

            and now w that in mind: it would have been circa 2015 so the landscape should have changed by now; maybe they reversed course like they did the rubycon capacitors that caused the capacitor plague 15ish years ago.
