What do I need the screwdriver for by the way? To push the pins together?

Yep, totally haha.
You need to get a screwdriver - reasonable size head that's clean (sounds ominous
)Just behind the F-Panel Header (where all your wires for the case plug in) - you'll see 2 pins sticking up with the words CLR_CMOS written behind them.
With the PC unplugged and depleted of power (press power switch when off) - then touch the 2 pins together (shorting) for a few seconds - with the screwdriver.
Then plug everything back in, and switch on - go to BIOS and load factory defaults - save and exit.
I should have added/made that clearer in my original post.

Nope, still not booting.
On the 3rd boot try it goes to this screen
Then just keeps restarting until it's on the 3rd try again and gets to that screen.

Right the PC has stayed on, on the 3rd reset but now I have no picture...
And I had been yes.

Well the PC isn't restarting, it's stayed on but I have nothing on my screen, the monitor isn't waking up to anything as if there is no signal.

When it stayed on but no picture I had it plugged in DDR3. Just moved it to DDR1 and now it's just restarting all the time again getting as far as that screen I posted further up, but this time on the second restart not the third.

No sorry, when it stayed on it was in ddr3-3, now I've plugged it in ddr3-1 and it's doing the restart loop but gets to that screen on 2nd restart.
