So I got a VR headset today and while trying to make it work on my pc I did some messing around in the UEFI settings. In my unending wit I accidentally seem to have disabled my GPU because I misread what the setting would do. I am an absolute noob in all matters computer and so am at a loss about what I have to do to make my pc work correctly again. Any help will be welcome.

    If you disabled the GPU in the UEFI you’ll have to re-enable it in the UEFI.

    If you don’t have an onboard display to plug into, open your PC, pull the CMOS battery for 30s, and plug it back in. This will reset all your settings to factory defaults.

      Do this one op, nice and simple. It’s a smooth, shiny circle about the size of a US quarter somewhere on the surface of your motherboard and should pop right off

    try the pulling CMOS battery thing (you also need to disconnect power btw), if it doesn’t work there should be a CMOS RESET jumper on your motherboard, try shorting that.

    Don’t you have to start up the pc in bios mode like holding f2 f8 or f10 and change it from there? I’d reinstall the bios from the manufacturers website to default
