If we short the CMOS jumper while the PC is powered on and running in Windows, the system may not recognize the new BIOS because it still sees the old XMP profile. Attempting to adjust the jumper when the computer is active could potentially harm the BIOS chip or cause data corruption. Removing the battery is a straightforward solution since the battery is located near the PCIe slot and behind the GPU. This issue is frequently encountered with Gigabyte AM4 boards from the 500 series, and a safe workaround is to power off the PC, enter BIOS/Windows, and then reapply the correct jumper setting.
On my HP workstation it performs a hard restart followed by a CMOS reset. It’s likely other boards would experience the same behavior.
It seems the process of cleaning and repositioning the GPU takes about two minutes. What might be causing this delay?
The issue lies in the fact that the Jumper pins are present but not functioning properly, causing problems during overclocking or undervolting. Resetting the BIOS is necessary, but doing it repeatedly on a tower PC becomes inconvenient.
I don’t understand the reason behind the non-functioning CMOS jumper. From a logical standpoint, it seems like a faulty electrical connection is the issue. I won’t attempt this on a running machine because it could create unpredictable problems somewhere. Also, you shouldn’t need to reset the CMOS frequently—usually only after replacing RAM is necessary. Personally, I believe I’ve reset it about 3 to 4 times a year for some time.
