Our CEO brought in a couple "clunker" PCs to use as AS/400 terminals. One of
them had an ATI Rage 128 video card, which the Windows 98 image did not have
drivers for. I downloaded the drivers and attempted to install them, when it
gave me an error that it needed Direct-X 8 or later. So, I download and
install Direct-X 8.1 and reboot. There's a quick blue screen when it goes to
reboot and it hangs on restarting, so I hit the power button. When I went to
bring it back up, the HP (Pavilion 7900 "Tortuga") splash screen was all
that came up and it was "glitchy". 

So, I powered down, pulled the video card and tried a different one. No
luck. I even tried pulling the CMOS battery as I couldn't find a CMOS reset
jumper. L

Anyway, long story short. no way to even get into BIOS. Any suggestions?
