Unable to remove boot options on Asus motherboard
I have an Asus H81M-K motherboard that boots into its UEFI BIOS Utility. It seems that my old boot options are still showing up in the utility even though I have tried the following:
- Removing all hard disk, thumbdrives, any bootable
- Resetting the mobo to optimised default settings
- Remove the cmos battery for a minute
- Reset CMOS with the pin trigger
After searching online, the understanding I got is that these data are stored in the NVRAM.
Does anyone know how should I go about clearing these boot priorities? And why didn’t a factory reset (load optimized defaults) doesn’t really clean this up?

When you "reset CMOS", does it successfully reset other firmware settings?

@grawity, the time did reset and so did the other original settings.. just the boot priority list refuses to go.
