Solve : BIG boot problem?

Answer»

Hi

I did a stupid thing. I have a P4 @ 2.8GHz (Northwood) which is 133MHz * 21. I changed the 133 to 200 through BIOS and now my computer doesn't boot in ORDER for me to set the old value again. Do you have any idea of how i could deal with ths problem?Reset the BIOS to default settngs. I believe you can do this one of two WAYS, depending on your motherboard. One way is to remove the small battery on your motherboard that allows your BIOS settings and system time to be retained while the computer is off. The other way is to use a jumper on the motherboard to reset the BIOS settings to defaults.

If you know what computer or motherboard manufacturer's website to go to for info on your computer, especially the motherboard, visit the site and SEARCH for info on the recommended procedure for your computer. Also, if you have a manual for your motherboard, look in it for instructions on how to do this.Quote
