So! Here's the deal, and I'm going to spill the beans feeling like a total git for what I've done.
BIOS! That thing Dad always told you not to play with. Well me being quite a bit older and out from under the wings of my parents, felt at this point in my life I could finally poke around with some of the settings. I love finding out how things work, and I guess the normal way for me to go about doing that is to break them first.
So there's the set up, here's the pitch.

I've been trying to get my graphics card to recognize this 50" Plasma via HDMI and DVI, to no avail. I decided to change the PCI settings within BIOS (because that's the only thing that would show before I got the 'No Signal' error), they were originally set to PCI X-16, I set it to Onboard.
Hit enter and rebooted. Now though, not even the BIOS would appear on screen before the No Signal error.
I read on a techblog that after messing up your BIOS and causing the black screen, a quick Clear of CMOS would solve the issue. It indeed did! I took the battery out of the motherboard and left it to sit for an hour and a half for good measure.
I reinserted the battery into the motherboard with the proper poles after my wait, and to my joy I was able to watch my computer boot up on the screen. After I reset the BIOS to default and checked to make sure the time/date settings were right, I fully booted.
It wasn't until I got to the Windows 7 loading screen though that I noticed the real problem now - the Windows logo only spins about half way through it's cycle before my whole computer reboots, giving me the blue screen. I've tried multiple times to run through Safe Mode (Networking, and Command Prompt) with the same results.
I've LKGC'd it, Restored to old settings, Disabled auto restart, and just about everything else anyone has offered up thus far in similar posts.
Curious if anyone around here can help me figure this one out! I'm actually stumped for once, and will seriously be very thankful if it can be resolved.
I swear I'll never be so dumb about my BIOS again, for as long as I live!
