Hey Jake, I'm having a similar issue. 

How did you clear your CMOS?

Remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard when the system is off to clear CMOS. Some higher end motherboards have a clear CMOS button on the back I/O.

Thanks Commander! I've taken the battery out many times, but nothing in that regard seems to work. I do have a CMOS back I/O button, which I'm not sure how to properly operate. Do you know if there's a specific way I need to press the button? i.e. holding it for 30 seconds while the system is NOT connected to any power, or while the system IS connected to power but not turned on? Thanks chief.
