Hi,
Let's look at the CMOS situation first. If you have the motherboard manual, there is a jumper somewhere in the middle of the motherboard that can be moved to clear the CMOS. What one does is simply move this little jumper from pins 1 and 3 to 2 and 3. Wait about ten minutes and put it back where it was. It will probably say Clear RTC Ram or CLRTC or something similar. If you can't find that jumper to clear it, then find the battery on the motherboard, take it out (watch how you take it out so you get it back in correctly), wait ten minutes, put it back and fire up your computer and see what happens.
The PCI slots are those long slots near the back of your computer that holds the cards. When something is in the PCI slots, you can connect to them via the back of the computer. For example, the modem is as a rule in a PCI slot, a sound card would be in the PCI slot, etc. Again, look at the manual if you have one.
Let us know how we can help further.
