Default WTF have I done :(

I found a piece of software on my desktop that I had forgotten all about. Its called Gigabyte Easytunes 5. I installed this when I built the system a couple of years ago. Anyway I loaded it up and it came up with a screen showing what the processor speed was running at. I guessed that the software was for overclocking and as I ave no experience of doing this I shut it down. BUT, I pressed the go button on the easytunes5 software instead of the shutdown program button. Now the damn PC doesnt work at all. I have tried turning it on and off again but all i get is a black screen, no boot up sequence at all, the screen states no video input then shuts off so I know the screen is fine. I didnt change any of the settings when the Easytunes software loaded up as I didn't know what I was playing with yet its all gone wrong.

Can someone please help ! I really hope I have fooked it !
