Hey, I just got into my BIOS and changed my memory to 1066. Now I can't even get past the main menu screen.

So far, I tried removing the battery and restarting. I still get stuck at the main menu.

It can't be my keyboard because, I just used it before changing the mem speed.

Any ideas?

btw

I'm using a Gigabyte 790gx and OCZ reapers (4gb)

Try resetting the board to factory defaults. On my Asus board there are a pair of jumpers to short out to do this, check your motherboard manual to see if there's a similar procedure.

what did you do to change memory speed? you probably overclocked something else.

try using the cmos jumper to reset it.

At the least you need to change the voltage to OCZ's specification, at 800mhz they all generally require less voltage. Some bios have EPP mode where you can select that as well as EPP voltage as well. Enhanced Profile P? sorry alheimers
