Did you try clearing your cmos? If you didn't, try it and that should get you up and going.

Two ways you can clear the CMOS:

1. Via the clear CMOS jumper. Just move it to the "clear data" position. Leave it there 15 secs and then return it to the "keep data" position.

2. Take out the battery and put it again after 15 minutes.

Any method you prefer make sure the PC is *unplugged* from the power outlet.
