How do i reset Intel Motherboard to factory settings?


Recommended Posts

Hi there

 

I have got this problem which is doing my head in i wonder if anyone can help.

 

I have just been given a Intel Motherboard DQ670W (for kids computer) installed it everything is working fine but every time it boots up it comes up with a RM Computers? logo.

So i looked in BIOS under System information and it looked like it came out of a RM PC? (Never heard of them) and has been used by Intel integrator Toolkit to customize.

 

A recent BIOS update came out and i flashed successfully but all the RM crap was still there, it seems to just upgrade if you know what i mean.

 

So my question is this, How do i Flash a downloaded BIOS from intel website and overwrite all the RM crap so it goes to a Stock Intel Board with Stock Intel Bios splash Screen and remove all the RM Stuff from System Info in BIOS?

Is there a "reset to default settings" somewhere in there? Or follow the instructions here and change it to something you want/default https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023875/boards-and-kits.html

You can restore the defaults with intel integrator toolkit.

I can change the boot screen no problem, but when i flash the created bios file it still shows all the RM stuff in BIOS.

 

Tried going into BIOS and Loading Setup defaults

Tried removing Battery, then reinserting ( Just resets Bios Settings) Time, Date etc

Tried removing Jumper from Motherboard to enter Bios Recovery, then tried resetting settings, saving, Putting jumper back to boot to normal BIOS  (RM Stuff Still there)

Also doing this restores the BIOS original Password which was RM

 

When i downloaded the latest BIOS and opened it with The toolkit all the settings are defaults with no System Info Present, but when i flash it, it changes the wallpaper but does not remove the RM stuff.

Its like the BIOS settings are stored some were like in Memory or something, that i cant erase.

 

There must be some way to Flash the BIOS and it gets rid of it all at once. 

 

 

RM Computers, as far as I remeber, are a no longer in business UK school PC supplier who had a tier 2 contract with Intel and those boards were also in limited commercial supply. You are probably looking at a new board in mainstream supply, to remove the logo. Is ts just the splash screen that you have a problem with?

Hello,

 

Have you looked into obtaining the Intel Integrator Toolkit for the Intel DQ67EP/DQ67OW/DQ67SW series of motherboards?  If so, perhaps that can be used to modify the branding strings in the BIOS.

If you are good at soldering, you could try to replace the ROM chip. Or, you could find someone else who could do it for you.

Just turn off the logo in the bios.. No logo then..

 

There are a few programs out there for modding a bios and your best bet would be to find a forum were they are all about that.

https://forums.mydigitallife.net/ might be a good place to start.

Thanks for all you responses,

 

I have managed to do it, got rid of all the RM stuff from BIOS.

 

What i had to do was find a old version of the Intel Integrator and customized my BIOS within that, flashed and it worked, Version 1.1 is what i had to use (Very Old Version)

 

Think the problem i think lied because with this being a old motherboard i was using the newest version of the toolkit and it wasn't saving the settings or something.

 

Anyway all sorted now, thanks for the tips +rep to all :)

Hello,

 

Were the changes you made using the Intel Integration Toolkit persistent when updated the motherboard back to the latest BIOS firmware version?

No, they were not saving my settings while i was using the latest version of the integrator or maybe i was doing something wrong.  The version i used was more idiot proof and Windows based and you could modify everything, save and it would automatically reboot and flash the BIOS.

    • @goretsky I will keep those in mind for the calls we get and update our technicians with the list, im sure the list will grow and I hope there is a larger public statement on this.  Here is the statement from Huntress https://www.huntress.com/blog/klue-breach-investigation

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
