bad computer problem

[nithawk57]

ok i think i really messed my computer up. i was trying to find out how to
fix a problem with my nvidia geforce 2 intergrated gpu, device manager says
it cannot start and nvidia website says to enter bios and look for the option
"Assign IRQ to VGA" well i found compaq vga controller but i accidently set
it from vga to IRQ3 and now computer turns on but nothing happens the screen
is black and nothing comes up. Is there a way to change this setting back? I
tried to enter bios again but i don't if it entered bios or not due to black
screen. I have the athlon xp 1900+ with win xp home edition. Any help i could
get is appreciated.

Pull the battery on the motherboard (looks like a quarter, usually) This
resets the bios to defaults.
