Wont reboot after

I was using Gigabytes "face wizard" software made by the manufacture of my keyboard GA-8SG800 which allows you to change the screen when booting to whatever picture you load into it. Well it froze up in the middle of doing something to the bios and I restarted my computer. Power came on but no response from the monitor, keyboard, or mouse. I tried resetting the bios by taking the battery out for awhile. Still nothing.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

Sounds like you trashed your BIOS. If your MB has "dual BIOS" feature, switch to the backup BIOS and use that. Otherwise, buy a replacement BIOS chip from your MB's manufacturer or someplace like BIOSMAN.

Thanks for the advice.

I just found the clear cmos jumper do you think that that might work.

It's certainly worth a try and won't hurt anything.
