Pull the battery on the motherboard for 30 seconds and replace.

There's also a button you can press to clear the CMOS:

Either of these procedures will bring it back to stock settings and allow you to boot normally again.

ThatVietGuy :

By battery do you mean the BIOS Time Battery that you can clearly see on the MOBO?

It'll probably be easier to press the little button on the motherboard.

But yes, that is the battery I'm referring to.

Cmos reset .
Should be labeled by the battery on the motherboard.
turn off power supply, press the start button on your case a couple times to drain capacitors.
Move jumper from pins 1-2 to 2-3 for 10 seconds or moer. Move back to 1-2 and boot computer.
The other option is to turn off power supply,push start a few times, then remove the battery for 10 seconds or more .
Replace battery and boot.
