Made change in BIOS, now i get black screen on startup

[danmarkfyn]

Was stupid enough to try to change something in my bios.
Activated Intel Virtual Technology (atleast i think so, was named Virtu Technology).
I set it to I configuration, then chose "save changes and rebbot".

Now i get a black screen whenever i start up my PC.

My specs are:

Intel I7 3770k
GTX 670
16gb ram
Windows 10 (upgraded from windows 7)
and i believe the motherboard is called Z77

Havent been able to find a solution online, so any help would be appreciated.

Try resetting your CMOS. That should help. Either, you can do it using a Reset CMOS-button, usually found on the I/O of the motherboard. Not all motherboards support this though, and I can not tell if your specific motherboard has such a feature from the details you provided.

You can also reset the CMOS by taking out the backup battery located on the motherboard. It is a standard flat battery, which you can easily take out.
Leave it out for a minute or so, then put it back in. This will reset your CMOS, aswell as all of your BIOS settings, and you should be able to boot into Windows again.

Found out that connecting the monitor directly to the motherboard made the computer work, then i just entered the BIOs and changed back so now everything works as before 😀

I guess that reseting would pretty much had done the same thing (changing the setting to the default value)

That's interesting.
Indeed, removing the battery would have reset all the values to their defaults.
Anyhow, excellent that you got it working.
