Please help ! me set my bios properly.

First try resetting your CMOS. Remove the battery and reset your jumpers.

Also if you could retype your question without any HTML it might be more readable ... thanks.

I already tried that

any other ideas?

I cannot find a 945 P-A at ECS

But if you can find your board I would suggest flashing your BIOS.
