Sounds like you have got it all confused!!
You need to rest the CMOS on the MB. If you have the docs that came with it ur looking for the master jumper. If not it is usually a red 2 pin jumper on pins 1-2 near the centre of the board. Move it to 2-3 power on 10 sec power off (you shouldn't see anything on the screen...) replace jumper and power on.
This should reset the MB. If you are unable to find the jumper you can try to remove the CMOS battery (small watch type) but be carefull as some are soldered in place.
