You need to clear the CMOS. There is a jumper on the mobo to do this. This will reset your BIOS back to defaults. Unplug the computer and move the jumper over. Leave it there for a good 30 seconds to 1 minute and then move it back.

If you cannot find the clear CMOS jumper, you can remove the CMOS battery with the computer unplugged. Leave the battery out for about 5 minutes and that should also reset your BIOS. This battery is usually a coin cell type battery and it should be easy to spot.

What he said.I doubt you messed up the MB.Videocard possibly.In the future don't mess with PCI/AGP timings.Leave them at 33/66 or 34/67 at most.HD's,vid cards,NIC's,soundcards etc. do not like it when you mess with their timings.
