All ya should need to do is enter the CMOS (by pressing the necessary key) and save and exit the CMOS. The comp should restart and all should be well again.

no i flashed the bios already, and it didnt do anything

Flash and reset are two differant things. You still need to go into setup to set it for your new processor.

Usually all you have to do is enter setup, then save and exit.

i dont have a new processor... but w/e i got that part fixed, now i am having problems installing my sound card drivers. I keep getting some wierd error but installation continues and my computerm all of the sudden restarts, wtf is with that?

[vikeor]

corrupt drivers maybe

Do a CPU reset with the computer unplugged from the wall.

And... Does your board require the extra 4 prong plug found on more and more M/B's? It is right next to the ATX plug in the screen shot I looked at.
