Not on Yahoo. Perhaps in Yahoo Groups.
But, your question is really several, and not very precise.
If you want to reset the CMOS Setup to defaults, then pull the power, and reset the jumper on the mainboard. Or, pull the battery on the mainboard, for 20 seconds.
Reset of the OS defaults means you need to open the control panel and change things there.
I insert a LiveCDrom, such as http://pclinuxos.com to ascertain computer hardware standards and viability.

Here is what you do
Go to START, then place your cursor over ALL PROGRAMS. Then click PC HELP & TOOLS, then click SYSTEM RESTORE. This is like a time machine and can set your system to a point where your computer was running good. Or set it to the time before you loaded up that program that had a virus in it.
If the Restore does not work, then you will do a recovery. There are two types of recovery. A soft recovery where you will lose data, but your programs are still there. The second is a "Hard" recovery where you lose everything. The HDD is reformatted back to the factory specifications.
The hard recovery is what you want to do according to your question.

Ok when you say reset your computer to all defaults, you mean with a fresh install of Windows? You can reset all your video/monitor settings by uinstalling and then reinstalling your video adapter drivers..

There are a number of approaches to establish how a lot ram is in the pc. in spite of the undeniable fact that if it says 2GB, then its very no longer likely its incorrect. by using default that pc does incorporate 4GB, so if it says 2GB, they might have scammed you. quite straight forward between the smaller fix shops. (I used to artwork in one, and not even going to assist you recognize lots of the stuff we pulled) If there is any style of corrosion on the RAM meaning moisture have been given in there, and you're able to produce different themes. distinctly on the grounds that RAM is usually in the direction of the backside of the pc. i could be searching for the receipt on your pc and practice to document a criticism with the BBB.
