Black screen after BIOS change

Today my new graphics card came, and I had to go into the BIOs and change stuff. But I screwed up and changed the video to on-board video. Now I cannot see anything. It's fully black from the time I power the system up.

I don't know what to do.
 
does your onboard video not work? i would say the obvious and plug a monitor into the onboard if not. find the jumper on your mobo to reset your bios.
 
about bios

The BIOS is boot firmware, designed to be the first code run by a PC when powered on. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the video display card, hard disk, and floppy disk and other hardware. This is to prepare the machine into a known state, so that software stored on compatible media can be loaded, executed, and given control of the PC.[3] This process is known as booting, or booting up, which is short for bootstrapping

The wikipedia articles won't help me here.
 
If you did in fact change your video to onboard, just plug your monitor into the motherboard video port instead of your graphics card port. Once you change it back to PCI-E (I would assume anyway) you can just plug the monitor into the graphics card again.

Just look at your motherboard, the battery looks about like a quarter. With the Computer off and unpluged hit the power button a few times to discharge it. Then just take the battery out for a minute. Put the battery back in. Hook everything back up at start it up.
