Help!!! Blank screen

I recently acquire a used pc with A7v motherboard and athlon 1.1 ghz
cpu. It had win 2000 installed on it. Everything was working fine with
the system.
After installing a new driver for the video card diamond stealth III,
the screen froze.
I restarted the computer and the bios screen came on. I think I
accidently changed the fsb setting to 133 hz from 100 hz, believing that
it was the memory setting. Now the when I restart the computer I just
get a blank screen, the monitor stays on sleep mode. The computer does seem to boot up. I installed an old
graphics card, but it had the same result. The moniter works fine.
I dont know what is going on and I hope that it is nothing serious.
Please tell me if there is a way to reset the bios from the motherboard
it self. Since i bought the computer used i dont have any documentation
on it. If you need any additional information let me know. Thanx a lot
for your help.

If you accidently up-ed the FSB too high in bios, switch to jumper mode and set it to 100mhz. here's link if you dont have the manual.
