Most motherboards have a jumper which, if disconnected, restores the 
original bios settings.  If you have, or can get, the manual for your 
motherboard, the solution is simple.  Just:

    * turn off the computer and pull the power cord off.
    * wait a minute
    * open the case (being careful to avoid any static charges)
    * locate the jumper and remove it
    * wait 5 minutes
    * replace the jumper and put the system back together
    * replace the power cord and try again

        The NOSPIN Group has added a new feature on our website,
           web based bulletinboard for questions and answers:
