BIOS Updates forum

Hi, I am new to computers so I hope this will make sense to someone!
I have a PII 233mhz running win 98se When I tried to start it one day it said CMOS battery bad so I changed the only battery that i could find on the motherboard (1 about the size of a 10p) since then all I have been able to get up is the fisrt part of the screen which says "PII 133mhz" (not the 233mhz it is) " checking NV RAM" that is as far as it has gone (I left it for 2 hours one day) Someone suggested that the bios needed reset, How do I do this?
Have I completely destroyed my computer?
P.S I dont know what make any of the parts are bar the processor!
MANY THANKS

You should be able to find a Clear CMOS jumper mentioned in the manual or indicated on the mobo itself.

Hi, thanks, I do not have any manuals or even the make of any of the parts in the computer as it was built for me back in 98. The person who bjilt it no longer lives in my area so I cant get in touch with them

Sounds like AMI Bios - are you able to post the AMI Bios-ID to identify your board ?
Should be visible on the bottom left and should start wit 61- or 62-
