    Hey everyone, umm well i was fiddling around with my bios, and im running a athlon X2 so i thought hey.. ill overclock it a bit, so i went into the overclocking option in the cpu options in the bios and took it off Auto and put in on the very first one which was 800mhz.. i thought eh.. shouldnt do anything bad considering it was the lowest one there... but after i saved the settings and rebooted, my moniter is saying "pc no signal" i checked my mobo and video card, they have nothing physically wrong with them and the pc seems like its booting up fine, but yeah as i said.. monitor says pc no signal so can anyone suggest on a fix, is there a way to reset the bios to default without a moniter?

    Thanks,
    Rome

    Unplug the power cord from the PC and hold in power button for 5 or 10 seconds. Open the case. Look for a round watch-type battery. There should be a jumper right near it (usually blue or red) with 3 pins. Lets call the pins A, B, and C. The jumper is on pins A and B. Move it pins B and C for 60 seconds or so. Then move it back to pins A and B. Close up the case. Plug it in, and power up. You'll probably get an error like "CMOS invalid" or " Checksum error" or something. No biggie. It's normal. Just enter the BIOS, set the date and time, make sure it sees your drives correctly, set the boot order if you want, save the changes and exit. If you can't find the jumper I mentioned, remove the battery for a minute or two. Make note of which side is up (it's almost always the + side). Put the battery back in before powering up and follow the steps to set the time and date....

    Good Luck!
