I cant get any video i messed up my bios i think

here are the specs of my processor

ATHLON XP 2400+ THOUROUGHBRED SOCKET A (266Mhz BUS) WITH QUANTISPEED
ARCHITECTURE OPERATING AT 2.0GHZ OEM

MotherBoard

SY-K7VME

According to soyousa.com they said that if your cpu's Front Side Bus
is 266Mhz then set the motherboard jumpers to 133Mhz.

What I did was set the frequency stepping in bios for the default
jumper on my Mother board from 100(default) to 132(highest possible
for that jumper).

Being that i set the default jumper from 100mhz to 132mhz(witch was
lower than what soyo said to set the Mhz to) How could this of
possibly broke my motherboard.

By the way after I set my fsb in the frequency stepping I saved and
exited bios. The computer rebooted and when it was at the post where
it checks the ram in the begging it did show an improvement of the
cpu's speed from athlon xp 1600+ to 2000+. Then it gave me some
strange error message. The only thing i think the message may have
had in it was the word keyboard maybe? so i checked the keyboard plug
and it was fine, rebooted and no video from there on then.

I have tried resetting the CMOS, taking the m/b battery out, using a
new power supply, new monitor and video card, and using the error
post code pci tool. the only number i got out of that were D3, D7,
and D8. on startup i get absolutly no beep or anything but hearing
the post reseting over and over until i shut it off.

I don't think you're doing the right thing. Your motherboard uses
jumper settings to set the FSB speed, but then you mentioned you set
your frequency stepping in within the BIOS to 132? These are two
completely different things.

So which one was it? Did you set the physical jumper settings to 133mhz
or did you change the clock settings on the BIOS to 132mhz? The former
is correct and the latter isn't.

The correct settings for your CPU is 15x133mhz. Make sure that this is
in fact what you did.
