Asus A7V bois flash-no video now

[mjnk]

Due to the problem of lock-ups since I upgrade to Win XP, I decided to upgrade my bios. Asus suggested to flash with the latest bios for this board. All went fine and ended with a "Successful" acknowlegement. as instructed, Turn off computer and reboot. No video is started, but sounds like the BIOS check is operating as it goes through the drives lighting them. Where do I go from here? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you flashed using the utility for Windows or in DOS using Aflash?
Try clearing CMOS.
