well, it supposedly has a CMOS reset button. I have never used it before, myself. I guess it will either load a version of the default bios, or it only resets the settings back to default (assuming you have not changed the bios like you have)

The CMOS clear button is located between the serial and IEEE 1394 ports and allows for BIOS reset without having to remove the case cover. This button can be toggled using a paperclip or similar instrument.

How do I clear the CMOS
Quote:

Clearing the CMOS can be done a few ways. The most common way is to use the jumper on the motherboard. This jumper has two settings. Normal and Clear. Moving the jumper to the Clear setting will erase the settings stored in CMOS. It does not remove the BIOS itself, only the user defined settings within the CMOS. When you clear the CMOS you will most likely see the error message "CMOS Checksum Error" on the next reboot. You can enter the BIOS setup at this point or before and reconfigure the settings.
