you have to go on another computer and setup the bios through a usb.

Sounds like your BIOS flash went wrong. Maybe you bricked the motherboard.

Pull that battery (that looks like an enlarged watch battery) out for like 30 seconds.

lilrebel68.... a couple more questions for you....

Was your rig disconnected from power when you cleared CMOS? And have you tried to reflash? Also, you didn't flash from a Windows utility, did you?

Here's a couple of links that might be helpful to you....

AMI BIOS Flashing

AMI BIOS Recovery

.... the second one mentions a TA790GX A2+, but the principle would be the same for your board.
