Unhappy

my system: Abit KT7-raid
256mb ram
850 thunderbird
FOP38 cpu fan

I was adjusting the bios settings for the mulitiplier and the FSB speeds and one time after exiting the bios which rebooted the computer, it didn't restart. Anything I've tried to get it up again til now has been unsuccessful.

What do i do now? Is there a jumper on the motherboard that can reset the bios back to a default mode or something? How can I start the computer long enough to get back into the bios and fix it?

I did not adjust the voltages at all, they were at the fail-safe defaults. The computer is on, fans run and all... but nothing appears on the screen.

help!please!

Unplug the power supply and remove the battery and leave it be for about a minute not a split second. It should reset.

That's what I figure, cause my BX-133 RAID isn't all too old and KT7-RAID can't be all to different save for chipsets, can it? I don't keep up much.

Exclamation

Every motherboard I've seen comes with a battery. I think hapoo is the one who has been sampling my Irish whiskey.
