I updated my BIOS yesterday with ASUS autoupdate. Well this morning I tried to start my comptuer and it wouldn't boot up, not even my monitor get a signal. I tried to reset the bios by unpluging the powercord from my powersurpply, taking off the jumper (CLR-TC) next to the battery, and then taking off the battery itself, i let it sit for few mins then i powered it back up... and still nothing. :/ I have Asus P4G8X deluxe, with p4 2.5, and 1gig or pc3200 ram and ATI9800pro 256bit. PLZ HELP!!!

Yikes....Windows-based BIOS updaters are hit or miss in my experience. You might consider RMA'ing the board, it sounds like the BIOS is zapped.
Not clear, though -- when you unplugged it and removed the jumper to clear it, did you leave the battery in or take it out, too?

RMAing means calling who you got it from and have them replace it for warrenty issue. ..
