Hi cookiebun,

Don't worry we have all done this sort of stupid mistake and usually realised what we have done as soon as we clicked Enter::)

The easiest way is to clear the CMOS by removing the battery for a few minutes after unplugging the power and pressing the on switch. Replace the battery and then load Optimised BIOS Default settings before making anyn other changes to the settings like what GPU to use. Doin't forget to make sure that the monitor cable is attached to the correct port.
