On most mb's there is a jumper very near the battery. Usually this is the
jumper that will clear the bios. the jumper is normally set up on 2 of three
pins. Clearing the bios requires changing the jumper from pins 1 & 2 to pins
2&3 for just a few seconds. Then replace the jumper to its original
position. The bios should then be set back to all of its default settings.
If a bios upgrade was done anytime after the machine was originally set up,
the upgrade will also be gone, and in most cases, should be flashed again.

HTH...
