Made a Bios Booboo

After putting together a new build, I installed CS5 only to have it freeze my system. After doing research I came to the conclusion that it could possibly be my video card so I decided to go into the BIOS and change video output to onboard video. Upon reboot, I have no display on either onboard or gpu. What do I do?

System:

i5 2500k
Msi Z68MA-ED55
4gb Vengeance Ram
Corsair GS600
Nvidia 8600 GT
 
Cleared the Cmos with the battery, but still have the onboard video issue. Just doesnt work. The gpu is back to working though.

Read your MB manual carefully regarding setup for using the onboard video. There could be a MB jumper or something involved. What is fishy is that one would expect CMOS default to be onboard video. Therefore, for the GPU to work, you would think that CMOS video needs to be disabled for onboard, then install GPU then reboot (or some such similar to how it is for onboard audio versus using a card).

Again, read the manual carefully in this area.

This board came the most vague manual in this aspect.
 
If you can get into the bios load the defaults for the video page.
If not said by the op Clear CMOS? easy for most but not all.
Unplug the power then press the start button then clear the cmos or remove the battery which ever is easier.
By default most mb are set up to detect the pci-e descreate video card first.
I had the same problems because I used intel video first.
Then I set it up to use the descreate video card first and only then loat intels video drivers
