Boot into your BIOS, and set the settings to Default, then save, and reboot.

You may have to clear the CMOS, if you don't get anything at all on your screen. Pull the battery out of your computer, for about a minute or so, put it back in, and try again.

Pop the motherboard battery out, then use the jumper to change pins, thus resetting the CMOS. Let it sit for a minute, then put the jumper back on the pins that they were originally on, and put the battery back in. Make sure that you put the battery in the right way.

BTW, the battery is probably in the lower right side of the motherboard.

Also, unplug the computer before you touch that motherboard.

No he means the battery on the mobo. Take a look at the mobo. There is a battery there bout the size of a dime. Its basically a watch battery. Pull it out and wait a few mins. Stick it back in and the cmos should be restored to fac specs.
