While doing some maintenance on my PC, (to try and solve a basic problem), I noticed I read to try and push "clr_cmos" button. Me being the idiot that I am, did it while my computer was on, and now it is stuck in a boot loop.
Please help, i'm freaking out right now because I've read it can fry your entire PC.

Edit: Forgot to mention that nothing happens on screen or anything, and the motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3
 
Solution
Clear the CMOS. Be sure to disconnect the AC power from the wall receptacle. You may need to do this more than once.

After clearing CMOS, load optimized defaults and any custom settings.

I might add, the Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 has no "clear CMOS button".

Thanks so much! Just tried this again, and it seemed to work the second time I tried :)
The board has a clr_cmos button, and after googling it I found it with the board? Thanks so much anyway, -Ty
