Default Phenom II 940


I installed the Phenom II X4 920 and my monitor, keyboard and mouse
would not power on so I returned the chip thinking it was faulty and
purchased the Phenom II X4 940 once installed I powerd the computer on
and the same thing.

After reading the manual I found out that I had to reset the CMOS to
Load Optimized Defaults (which is default) well after removing the giant
cooler master heat sink a billion times I wanted to avoid removing it
just to insert the old chip and load defaults for the bios so I used the
Clear CMOS method by shorting the the two pins on the motherboard,
powered on the computer the monitor came up, turned off the computer and
removed the jumper for clearing the CMOS and now everything works
great.

So if your lazy like me, hate reading the manual and would rather
google it here is your fix. =)
