    Go back in to your BIOS (assuming that you can) & reset the BIOS to the default values. If this doesn't resolve your issue, it most likely has nothing to do with the BIOS changes that you made.

    A bad BIOS flash!? Taking that you meant by "making changes" to the BIOS, now that you cannot access the BIOS itself.

    cheers ...

    If your notebook is bricked at the moment, and won't get past BIOS, then try resetting the CMOS battery.

    Cheers...
