Reset your CMOS. Refer to your manual for a BIOS Jumper that will flash it. On a K7T its near the southbridge.

 

[FrEstYle29]

what exactly does that do?

 

[fitzhue]

it basically "clears the cmos" hence the name
it is basically returning your motherboard to the state it was in when you first received it.
That jumper is particularly useful for these kinds of accidents.

How do you flash the motherboard? Remove the jumper and power on?

 

[Lvsheng]

Why not just remove the battery and put it back in? That also can revert those BIOS setting back default.

I already tried that, computer still won't boot

On the mobo there is a jumper switch, usually called "clear cmos" or similar. With the computer UNPLUGGED, simply set the jumper to the "clear" position, then put it back where it was. It will clear any changes you made to the CMOS and revert back to defaults. Then, AFTER you put the jumper back in it's original position, plug the computer back in and fire it up. The only drawback is you'll have to go back in to the BIOS and re-set any custom settings you had.
Hope this helps.
