Thanks for all the suggestions:
I've tried to reset the BIOS using the jumpers.
So I took the computer apart and was getting ready to contact ASUS for an RMA, when somehow I reached their Tech Support instead of the RMA dept.
I told the tech about the problem - and apparently I downloaded the wrong Flash Utility and version of the BIOS. Which i don't understand how i did, i checked several times to make sure i was at the right page and using the correct BIOS info. When i went to the same page today (which was bookmarked), it was completely different - so i'm assuming their site was flawed (or still is).
Anyway, i downloaded the 'new' correct flash app and updated bios file (1005), reflashed the bios and now everything works great.
Again Thanks.
