Hey guys, I've been pulling my hair out for the past half and hour trying to figure out what went wrong. This is my first build and I had everything up and running perfectly fine. I installed windows 8 and had everything running correctly.
I started having problems where the computer would stay running, but the display would cut out while I was playing Guild Wars 2 and I would have to turn the computer off by the switch on the PSU (the power switch on the case would not work). I uninstalled and updated the drivers for my graphics card after this happened a few times. This happened a few more times after the driver update, and I decided to try and reset the CMOS battery. After I took it out and placed it back in I started the computer up and the BIOS screen opened, beeped and then went to a black screen. This is as far as I can get into my computer. I have no access to windows or anything else (as a side note, I believe my monitor is the wrong resolution for my BIOS, so I have had problems with getting into it in the past). The problem here is that I cannot do anything once I reach this black screen. The BIOS will not go into any of its windows and there is nothing I can do. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am sorry if the answer is something trivial, I have never done this before.

XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB
