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!
