I don't understand why you would have the OP do anything with his BIOS.
This doesn't have anything to do with the BIOS; it is clear
cause-and-effect at the operating system level. The OP installed some
incompatible drivers. Jimbo: here are a few things you can try:
1. Can you get into Safe Mode? You get the proper menu for that by
repeatedly tapping F8 as the computer is starting up. If you can get
into Safe Mode, either try uninstalling the drivers or do a System
Restore to before you installed them.
2. If you can't get into Safe Mode, using the same menu try Last Known
Good Configuration. If that doesn't work,
3. Using the same menu as before, do Safe Mode Command Prompt Only and
start System Restore by typing:
"c:\Windows\System32\restore\rstrui.exe" without the quotes and then
press Enter.
Post back after you've tried some of these things. If you have already
done some troubleshooting, please let us know what you've done.
Good luck,
