I reset my bios in an attempt to resolve another hardware conflict. Now when it boots up, it just sits at the logo screen. If I hold down delete during power-up, text will appear over the logo that says "entering setup..." but it will just sit there. It's been sitting there for 20 min now. How do I get back into setup?
 
Disconnect all peripherals except for the keyboard and mouse, then remove/disconnect all internal components except for the video card. You should be able to get into the BIOS setup.
 
If you used the CMOS clear jumper short-out, ... did you disconnect the jumpers when you're finished?

Remember, for the CMOS to get cleanned completely you have to leave the jumpers shorted at least 15-20 seconds.
