I was messing around with my old desktop and I was tweaking the bios and bam, no more display (I enabled virtualization right before it stopped showing anything but I doubt that's the culprit as I didn't save the settings before it).

I can tell for sure it's a bios problem as it used to display on integrated graphics, now it doesn't and it doesn't show anything on a graphics card either
And before you ask, yes I have attempted to reset the bios (through the jumper method and just removing the flow battery), but it only just makes the computer confused on boot

You mean you cleared the CMOS.

Ideally, you clear the CMOS by;
disconnecting from the wall and display, then remove the CMOS battery, press and hold down the power button for 30secs to drain any residual power, then reseat the battery after 30mins.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. If you can recall, include the BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

i don't know a lot of this (more like i have the ability to check, but i don't want to disturb it), but i'm definitely going to try anyway

CPU: can't check: i'm not going to disturb the thermal paste.
CPU cooler: can't tell which is the model number, but it definitely came with the intel processor
Motherboard: you already know this.
Ram: 8GB, 2 4GB mismatched RAM sticks
SSD/HDD: 2 Western Digital 500GB WD5000AAKX
GPU: Integrated Graphics
PSU: Super Flower, 450W (i can't check more without moving it out, and i don't want to.)
Chassis: can't check: no model number or branding. (but whoever was putting together the computer clearly didn't know enough about computers seeing as they put a micro ATX board in what seems to be a full size case)
OS: not even installed, doesn't matter seeing as the BIOS is the problem here :)
Monitor: 1366x768 Acer KA200HQ

Edit: OH DEAR, does anybody know how to disable the image emoticons??? they look like complete garbage
edit edit: almost forgot, don't remember the BIOS version, but seeing as the build year was 2012, it was never updated

That's not what the manual says for clearing the BIOS, though 😛 (i'll still attempt it in slight desperation)
