Need Help Troubleshooting Asus P6T V2

I have a new PC, custom built, with little co-op from builder re: tech support.

My PC is a Win 7 64-bit box with the above named motherboard. Inadvertently, a floppy disk from our digital camera was left in the PC .. When I booted up the PC in the morning. POST stopped at booting up at USB devices which the USB floppy is....at the bottom of the screen there was a message that there was an "overclocking failure". I have an I7 chip that was minimally overclocked from 2.67 to 3.36 and was incl with the package.

Then the PC offered me two choices..go into setup or hit F2 to continue to boot. The PC booted up just fine.

Here are my two issues. (1)When the PC boots up now, it goes to Asus Express. I can let it sit for a few seconds, or hit exit, then the motherboard screen appears and offers me to go to setup by hitting DEL or Tab for POST. I let is sit for few seconds and then it will boot normally into Windows. (2) A message pops up telling me that the USB device that I tried to install is not recognizable and was not successfully installed. I was not attempting to install any devices.

There was no hint, like in Win XP, that there was a non-system disk in the PC...nothing at all.

I think the BIOS is the issue, but I am not sure what should be done next. I am not concerned about the overclocking in the least. Can someone give me a clue (who has only flashed one BIOS upgrade in my whole life) about the best way to clean up the bootup process.

Thanks,

Diane P.
