I upgraded the BIOS of my M2N-SLI Deluxe from 1102 to 1302, and
everything seemed to be fine for a day or so, but then when I went to
reboot after shutting down there was no video and no beeps indicating
error messages. After checking the connections, I decided to zap the
CMOS settings: I removed the battery, moved the jumper to the Clear
position and left it there for 10 minutes or more. Still no joy when I
replaced the battery and moved the jumper back to the normal position

I then removed the battery again, moved the jumper and left the thing
overnight. This morning it worked when I powered up again.

How long should it take to clear the CMOS?

You shouldn't have to remove the battery. All you have to do is move the
jumper to clear the cmos and the move it back. It should take only a matter
of a second of two. You might want to make sure everything is seated into
the motherboard properly. I'd pull all the cards and reseat them. I'd do the
same with the ram. The next thing to check is your power supply. It may have
gone bad.

I hope this helps,
Bob
