No display after bios modification

[TChai]

Hello everyone, my name is Chai
I've encounter a problem after i changed the performance setting in the bios. From what i remember i've changed the graphics and speed varying from Hz to Hz....... well trying to get the best out of it!
When i restarted the computer again the screen didnt display anything!

Another additional information you should know:
This computer have a history for not starting properly, it start but never making it to the desktop state, instead it restart it self.

-------------------------------------------

The only solution i have tried is resetting the bios but i only tried one method and that is removing the batteries but that didn't work.
I want to try the other method using the jumper pins but i cannot find the right jumper which state "clear cmos" or "reset bios" and i don't want to mess with it.

These are the only jumper pins which i found that has 3 pins:

1 - J3      on the video card
2 - JBAT1     close to the 3v batteries
3 - J10     Closes to the CPU

Roughly how long did you have the CMOS battery out of the system?

To reset the BIOS via jumper settings you should move the jumper from JBAT1 pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3 for AT LEAST 15 seconds.  Then you need to put the jumper back on pins 1 & 2.

If the problem persists, you may have fried your video card.

I just read some tutorial on how to reset the bios and every methods is attempted.... and i have a feeling that southpaw63119 is right.

It's extremely rare you can get a performance kick from a BIOS setting...best left alone completely and re-set to it's system defaults.

If your computer was working properly before start-up/booting error happens, then there's a chance of finding a more specific solution. But now after messing with BIOS configuration only complicates the scenario. A monitor blackout is another.
