    Good evening all.

    I have the above problem, I have tried everything I can think of from cmos drain to no gpus in the laptop to no ram or no cpu and nothing works and now I ask anybody for some help. I can get the laptop to do 2beeps. But the laptop dose not restart to reset the bios. I no I have changed something in the biso as it was working before I changed a setting.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    What setting did you change before this happened? Did you change anything else at the same time?
