The best thing to do is open the case and pull the CR-2032 battery. It is a small flat disc located directly on the motherboard. Leave it out for several minutes (some people say 30 seconds others 2minutes), personally I leave it out for 5, because if you put it back in after 2min and it's still there you have to waste at least another 3 before checking again... hence the 5min. That should reset the BIOS (and any special settings). You may have to configure a few minor things (Time, Date, etc) or something more serious (Hard Drive Config)


Good Luck
