Solve : clearing CMOS?

Answer»

I was changing memory and accidentally changed the something in the BIOS. Now the computer won't startup no matter what memory I have in it. I have no way to access the BIOS. I have a GIGABYTE 965P-S3 motherboard. It has two pins for clearing the CMOS. To clear the CMOS would I just create a short between the pins? What is the difference between puting a short between the pins and removing the battery for a while? I tried removing the battery for about a minute but the computer for will still not start up. I was reading some where that sometimes you have to leave the battery disconected for quite some TIME or you have to discharge something. Do you think this is the case?

Does anyone know what could be happening?

Thanks in advance for your response.Try leaving the battery out for about 15 minutes and see if that does anything. If not, then you MIGHT be able to reset the jumpers and see if that would clear it.And HIT the power button a few TIMES as well to discharge any latent power...with all power unplugged of COURSE.
