Unable to progress past the black screen following the "All settings were reset to default values" notification.
Each time I start my computer, this warning appears: "All settings were reset to default. The previous overclock settings failed, system has been restored to its default. Press F1 to run setup. Press F2 to load default values and run setup." I continue to encounter issues, staying stuck on a black screen when I press either F1 or F2. I found a discussion suggesting the motherboard battery might need replacement, but that hasn't changed anything. Also, the CPU was once overclocked to 3.8 ghz using the built-in MSI software. Thanks for your assistance.
User reports encountering a black screen after receiving the default reset message. They describe repeatedly pressing F1 or F2, noting issues with previous overclock settings and CPU performance. The system shows default values, but the boot remains problematic. Suggestions include checking the motherboard battery and considering a CPU replacement. Device details provided for reference.
The issue persists after resetting all settings to defaults. Each time I restart, the black screen appears. A forum user suggested checking the motherboard battery, which I attempted but found no improvement. The CPU was previously overclocked to 3.8 GHz using MSI software. No changes have been made yet.
Disconnect the CMOS pins on the motherboard, find the instruction manual, use a metal-tipped screwdriver to short them with a label like "reset cmos" or "clear cmos". This will reset all BIOS settings to the factory default and should allow proper booting.

LaserNinja11 :
Consider disabling the cmos pins on the motherboard, refer to the instruction manual to find this, and short them using a metal-tipped screwdriver. It should be marked as "reset cmos" or similar. This action will reset all bios settings to their original state and may allow the system to boot normally.
I attempted this recently. The process brings me to a screen identical to what I first saw. Now it displays the ram speed, size, cpu type and speed, and sata devices. Pressing F1 or F2 still leads to a black screen. Turning off the computer and turning it back on shows the same large MSI logo for about a second during startup.
