First problem is the fact that you spent 5 hrs working on a Celeron based system.

Did you short the pins for CMOS on the MB?

mobo manual, should be a 3 pin jumper somewhere on the mobo, I think mines labelled like JP13 or something.

Anyway, it should be near the CMOS if you cant find the manual(manual should be online)

and you just take the jumper and put it on the 2 pins not already used, wait 15 seconds, then replace the jumper again, and restart pc, BIOS should be reset, or you might have to reinstall it from there.
