So do I take it that you have no preference as to whether power is first
removed?

GA EP45-DS3P
Peter,
Yes this would have been my procedure but I found it strange that GigaByte decided to make this an illuminated button when the power is on. Also strange that they only mention the standard shorted pin method in the EP45-DS3P manual. As it does not appear to be clearing the CMOS power on or off I decided just to remove the battery for a few minutes. thanks, Beemer "peter" wrote in message news CMOS is reset with power off.... peter "Beemer" wrote in message ...

GA EP45-DS3P
Since when has holding down the power button for 5 seconds cleared the CMOS?
You use that method with the power button to turn off/reset a locked machine, but never heard of it doing anything else. It could have changed, but would be the first I've heard of it. P.S. I haven't done that in a while, so can't remember if it shuts down or resets pc. "Beemer" wrote in message ...
