Urgent Help Needed!

I tried to change the timings on my RAM, and after I clicked "Save & Exit" in the BIOS the screen just went blank. Now my PC doesn't boot far enough for me to get into the BIOS and change the settings back. It just spools up but never boots.

Is there any way to undo my settings now? What do I do? How do I fix this?

Look in your motherboard manual. There should be a jumper setting somewhere in your motherboards to reset the BIOS.

If there is not, then unplug everything and take the battery out of the motherboard (the little silver disc) for a couple of hours and see if that resets the motherboard.

I took out my RAM and put in a new module and it booted so I could change the settings back to automatic. So lame! I have DDR2-800 rated 4-4-4-10 and I saw in Everest that they were set at 5-5-5-18 @ 400Mhz. So I changed it manually but my PC was like "noooooooooooooiiiiit" I guess those two 1GB modules are pwned now. So unfair.

Unlikely that the dimms are dead. Just set their timings back to something they can maintain and they should work fine.

Make sure your board is giving the correct voltage for your memory to run at 4 4 4 10
