I entered the BIOS setup and updated the time, date and year. Then, I pressed ESC button and followed by F10 (Save) and Y. The 'saving' process takes time (Usually it is quite fast). I thought the computer hanged, so I turned off the computer and powered on again. But there is no video output. I already tried to change monitor, VGA card, RAM, Motherboard BIOS Batery but it still no video output. Please help me to solve this problem.

I assume you are using a different computer to post with.
Unplug the computer and remove the BIOS battery for about 10-15 minutes. This will reset the system to the manufacturer defaults and allow you to correct your mistake(s).

Just a guess here. Could the motherboard have on-board video, and since you are using an agp, the bios needs to be set to use agp video. Sometimes you have to dig a little to find it in the bios as each mobo manufacturer, sets it in a different location or uses different words, but maybe "on board controller."

Did you have the computer unplugged when you pulled the bios battery? Turning it off isn't enough. You have to unplug it and remove the battery. 15 seconds will be more than long enough.
