BIOS not loading

[Joesito0102]

My mobo is an ASUS A8V Deluxe, and I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2.
I dont remeber the reason, but when I switched on my computer this evening it asked me if I wante to boot using the default bios settings or set them myself, and I chose to set them myself. I got them all set up the way I usually have it, except I tried to disable the RAID support. Normally my computer would say that it was searching for RAID, not find anything, and say "BIOS is not installed," or something along those lines. I tried to fix it by changing the RAID settings but instead of disabling RAID support altogether (since I dont use it), I set it to run as if I had a RAID setup.
Now, when I boot my computer it searches for the drives and doesnt find anything, then it gives a message about there being no boot media and to insert a disk into the drive etc and press any key. I tried to get into the bios to fix this, but all I get is a screen with a blue bar at the top of the screen that fades to black on the sides, and text that says "wait..." I let it sit like that for probably 10 minutes, then rebooted. It does the same thing every time I boot.
I cleared the CMOS according to the directions in my mobo manual, and then when I booted it asked if I wanted to edit the BIOS settings or use the defaults again. I chose to use the defaults, and my computer still wont boot.
I get a CPU fan error when I boot, before it starts to enter the bios setup, because I use watercooling instead, and it says press F1 to resume, so I know it's starting to enter the BIOS. From there it jsut goes to the waiting screen again though.
If the rest of the system info would help here it is:
athlon64 3500+
1gig dual channel mushkin ddr400 ram
western digital 75gig
ASUS DVD/CD-ROM drive
ATI AIW 9800 Pro

Oh and I let it stay on the "waiting screen" while I registered here, looked to see if anyone had the same problem, and typed all this, (about 45 minutes), and it hadn't changed.

thats a long post, I lost where you were, when you reset cmos it will not find drives becouse it's looking for your raid drives by default, go back in bios and disable raid, when it says bios not loaded it means that it did not load bios for raid drives, becouse there not being used,

[Joesito0102]

I cant get back into the bios. It jsut goes to an all black screen with gray text "Waiting..." and a blue bar along the top that fades to black at the edges

take your video card out and reset it

[Joesito0102]

reset the video card? can u tell me how?

[cmptrgydv]

you did not build computer? if not it is not video card, I thought you just built it,

are you sure you set cmos back to normal, but you could try video card it just pulls out after you take the one screw out thats holding it in,

[Joesito0102]

yeah I built it and I know how to take out the video card, I thought you meant there was a way to reset the video card like what i did to the mobo. I built it back in December and it's been running fine up until tonight.
I set the jumper setting back to normal and put the battery back in right.

[cmptrgydv]

well some times you can bump video card, and get it out of wack, when you were setting cmos, so try that first,

[Joesito0102]

oh, got it. Yeah I've done that before actually, in some old computer I used to have.

when you first started computer and it asked to reset bios had you changed any drives, or cdrom or anything
