I knew i would cause some trouble..! heh I think i had set it up as 133 x 11.5 on accident instead of 10 and now whenever i try to boot i get a blank (black screen) and the monitor doesnt come on.

This is a KT7A-RAID board.. any ideas? I dont think i would have broken anything this fast would i have?

clear the CMOS on your board. it's a little jumper on the physical board...leave it on clear for about 3 sec, and replace on original setting. then your cmos should be set to default...

also you can try holding down insert key while powering up computer. usually works first try, but some people have to try 3 or 4 times. it restores defaults in bios. easier than digging into case.
