More Information

ok i just got a new graphics card (9800gtx=awesome) and was putting it in my comp.  unfortunetly it did not fit beause of the battery on the mobo was in the way.  So i reassembled the computer with the old graphics card.  when it was finished i turned on the computer and it didnt start.  i had forgotten to plug in the power for the mobo.  stupidly i pluged it in with the power supply on.  The computer went on real fast then shut down.  when i went to turn on the computer a new screen came up instead of the bios boot screen.  it said keyboard error then under that it said bios checksum error.  I think i might have messed up my bios or did something to the motherboard.  -anyways is there an easy way to fix this or should i get a new mobo(i was planing to anyway to fit the 9800gtx)  
 
also might i have damaged any other system parts such as the memory or the cpu.  
 
p.s. whats the best microatx motherboard  
 
any help would be greatly appreciated
