I have recently built a computer and the mobo i used was an MSI Z87-G43. This mobo comes with an option in the bios to use an OC GENIE. Out of curiosity i pressed it to see what would happen. The computer reset but now it won't boot, it stays on a black screen with a list of components connected to the board and at the bottom it says
"Press DEL key to enter setup Menu, F11 to enter boot menu"
However when i press either of these buttons nothing happens it just sits on the same black screen. nothing at all happens, keyboard is working fine.
no matter how many times i reboot, the same thing happens.
The worrying part is i can't even access my BIOS to turn the damn thing off! it's really frustrating.
You guys have any idea what i have done!?

Appreciate any help.
Andrew.
 
Solution
It either has a button or a jumper, check your manual but removing the motherboard battery for a few seconds with the computer unplugged does the same. Always done with power off!

My manual said it had a jumper but there was only 4 blank pins in the area it mentioned so I just took the battery out as you said. Worked perfectly. Back to square one now but at least i have a working computer again. Thanks alot!
