HELP Bios settings, black screen on startup

I have intel dual core 2.4 with a 650iSLIT mother board, 320gb saga HD, and
an 8800 GTS 640 mb graphics card. I was messing around in the BIOS settings
and changed Boot 1 from removable to Hard Disk Boot 2 to Removable and Boot 3
to CD drive , and I also changed it to performance settings. BTW i have
Vista HP. But anyways When i start the computer I get nothing other then it
says its a digital connection to my monitor, then just a black screen. So
obviously I cant get into BIOS settings, and when I put the Vista CD in to
start up with that I get the same problem.... Any suggestions????????????? It
would help a ton
Thanks

Re: HELP Bios settings, black screen on startup

Reset the BIOS. Also known as "clear CMOS".
To do that.. Unplug the PC. Pull out the battery for 30 min. then reinstall
it.
The motherboard may have jumpers to reset it also.
