Good day
I have a z97 extreme 6 MB. I attempted to set the admin password on the bios, system seemed to have accepted the password. On rebooting the system, the password was invalid, i assumed it was due to the specials characters i used in password. I read, in an online article by resetting the bios this can reset the password. Disconnected peripherals and psu, moved the cmos jumpers, pulled the battery out and left it to stand for 4 hours, naturally i was grounded. Everything was put back to together but the pc doesn't want to boot up. I have tested the PSU, it is providing power. I have tested cmos battery which is fine as well.
What else can i do to diagnose the issue?
