I have just had this problem with one of my PC's, also with an American
Megatrends motherboard.  Mine was self induced thou; I was trying to patch
the motherboard bios on a SuperMicro P55MMA motherboard to fix a boot
problem with Linux and I got the wrong one... oops.  I did manage to
recover it to the correct version after a bit of buggering around.

If just reseting the CMOS setting does not work (pay particular attention
to the plug and play bios option in Advanced settings), you may have to go
to the motherboard manufacturer and download a new version of the bios. 
Then follow the instructions to flashing the motherboard.
