I was editing some settings, in the BIOS, now, it won't save ,and Reboot.
Luckily, I have a RESET button in front of the PC case, and I can hear the beep and able to reboot back to Windows 7
is my BIOS gone?

It's located at the front edge of the board near the middle, left of the yellow harddisk connectors. The type number is CR2032 should be readily available in any computer shop.

It's a likely cause of your problem and a cheap fix. the other possible problem could be bad capacitors, more info on that is available on this website:

possible but it also means you still cannot save any new settings. you want to replace the cmos battery with a new one. they are around $1.
