Help!!! Can't access bios after changing memory to 2-2-2

[TERMIN]

ok, i wanted to try my memory to do 2-2-2 but when i rebooted the pc i just get these long beeps and the monitor has no picture

i have an a7v133 and in the manual it says the long beeps say there is no DRAM or it is not detected

the computer was working fine until i changed the timing on the memory

how do get into or reset the bios settings to default???

i heard about removing the cmos battery to reset it, but how do i actually remove the battery???

i don't want to break anything....

please help me...Thanx

Oopss! There is no CMOS jumper on the A7V133, what a bummer. Do you know if your RAM is 2-2-2 capable?

Try holding "Insert" key when you power up your computer. For some motherboards that makes it use the default/autodetect bios to boot. You can also try power it up->no post->power it down->wait a couple min->power up again... some times that makes the motherboard to use default bios.

just remove battery, its not hard , and replace

you need to short the bios clearing jumpers( check in your m/board manual) or gently remove the m/board battery temporarily. you won't break anything if you're careful.
always ensure that the power is disconnected before you open the case & take anti-static precautions!

in this anandtech article, it says to use a screwdriver to short the bios, but it doesn't say how...

how do you do it?

Using a screwdriver is like using a jumper. They conduct between two points
