Have you tried going into the bios and set it to the default settings ?

You say ........." I think it might have somthing to do with the bios because I was messing with some things to get better performance I have a 3.2 ghz p4 512mb of Ram "  

What were to trying to improve .........?

Remember ........ " IF IT AIN"T BROKE DON'T MESS WITH IT"  ............ or  .............
" YOUR CAN"T MAKE HONEY OUT OF SH*T"

You should reset CMOS/BIOS start up to deafults.
Unplug computer. Open case. On mothboard there is a large flat silver battery. Take it out. Wait for about 30 seconds. Put it back. This will reset start up settings to factory default.
Put case together. Plug in. Turn on.
Should start ok.
If not, let me know - with more info about your system.
