what bios revision do you have? if it's below A22, it's a common problem and you will need to use a CD to flash to A22. Once you have the bootable CD with A22 flash utility, remove the HD to force a boot to the CD with A22 on it. Once that is done, you should be able to enter the bios again.
If your bios is passworded, you maybe looking at a motherboard replacement
If your bios is A22 or higher, then I have no solutions
