lost power while in bios

Lost power while in bios, now when power is applied to pc, activity light blinks once (before power on button is even pushed) and fans start, but thats it! Is there a way to default bios? Ie., jumper, removing battery???

Either a reset jumper or battery removal should do it. You'll have to check the specs of your motherboard to see if it has a reset jumper, and if so, where it's located. The alternative is to unplug the power cord from the computer and remove the CMOS battery. Leave the battery out for 30 minutes or more if possible; it can take a pretty long time for some systems to fully discharge.
