Post subject: BIOS Problem

Hi, I am a newbie here - need some help.
Yesterday, after putting the PC on I was able to go to windows without any problem, however I got a message that New Hardware Found - Find and Install Drivers. I noticed that It was referring to the SCSI controller device.
Then after a while I had to restart and from then onwards I could not continue to windows. The following screen comes up:

The only options I get are:

Alt Tab Delete - For BIOS
Alt Tab F2 - For ASUS EZ Flash V1.00 Utility

I am totally lost! Is the motherboard defective? or the BIOS battery needs replacing? I have some information on PC for printing and filling asap. Help is very much appreciated!

Are any of the hard drives using SATA?

Have you tried disconnecting the data cable from the hard disk that does
NOT have Windows installed on it?

Hit F8 when Windows starts to load and see if you can boot into the last
known good [hardware] configuration.
