While I was using my system immediately power supply failed & UPS too failed. Now once the power is restored, nothing comes on my monitor except 'no signal' .. CPU power led is on. NUM lock led is on but can't turn it off. I switched on 3 to 4 times but couldn't succeed. What can be done.

check whether also Fans are working or not to test the PSU issue...
otherwise it will be mobo issue

Check the monitor cable. Check whether analog mode/digital mode (whichever you use) selected in monitor appropriately.

There are two ways to reset BIOS:
1. You need to use BIOS jumper to reset it. You will find the location of the jumper from motherboard manual.
or
2. After removing PSU cable from wall socket, remove the BIOS battery from its slot for at least 5 seconds, and then place it back.

^^ Eh! Now you know how to reset the BIOS, and you can do it in future without asking any more in any forum. ;)
