My computer has not been posting for the past two days, I left the system on the login screen before going to work, when I came back the computer appeared to be frozen. I restarted the computer and it posted, but gave a message saying the bios software had not been installed correctly, then it went to a black screen. I restarted again, but this time the computer would only power and did not post. To make sure it wasn't just my monitor not displaying, I tried it on another computer and there are no problems there. I checked all the components and cables and make sure they were seated and fully connected correctly. The system will still not post however. I am unsure of what else I can do to figure out why the system is not posting, any help would be greatly appreciated. The specs for my system are:
Mobo: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 260 GTX
CPU: Intel i7 core LGA 1366
RAM: GSkills 6GB (3 x 2GB)
HDD: 2x WD 640GB 7200rpm
PSU: Corsair 750w

None of these items have been changed in the past year or so, I did have to replace my CPU heatsink fan, but that is the only component that has been different to the system in a while, that was changed out about 3 months ago.
Once again any help with this would be wonderful, thanks in advance.

Here are your BIOs versions and BIOS-Utility page, http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&s=29&m=P6T
Here is the DOS version procedure, http://support.asus.com/Troubleshooting/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&m=P6T&s=29&hashedid=QtpKQuERkuYw6trc&os=&no=937

In the Past you would create a bootable DOS disk, and have the Flash utility *.exe file on...

Hello... Verify in another computer if your Video card is working too... if you have Automatic updates on and you leave your computer running 24/7 there can be alot of software/files/program changes, depends on what you selected to update at will... A BIO's update not completed can be death to any piece of hardware GPU/MB/etc... but is fixable, for any of them, if you can locate them and learn the steps needed to install them without needing a visual/monitor display.
Also try to just clear/reset your CMOS memory to it's defaults, as a quick remedy.

I checked my video card and it looks like that is fine, other system booted posted and displayed without any issue, I went ahead and reset the CMOS battery just to check, still getting a black screen and no post, how might I go about finding the steps for reinstalling software for my MB and such?

In the Past you would create a bootable DOS disk, and have the Flash utility *.exe file on it, and using notepad write a *.bat file with the correct Command syntex to start the Flash utility and Load the *.rom file to your BIO's chip, without having a screen or needing to provide any keyboard interaction or visual feedback for it to complete.

It does mention the provided DISK might be a BOOTable option, but if your screen doesn't work and it needs screen interaction, you need to make a BOOTable media, add the DOS flash utility, and add the *.bat file.

Thanks a bunch for all the information, I am in the process of trying to make one of the options work, reseting the CMOS definitely did not help, I tried just running the motherboard disk, but it does not appear to do anything. I am attempting to make a bootable flash drive to get that .bat file working, but I am a little new to writing .bat files and am not sure how to make it run off a flash drive when the system is first booted. Also I did not note this before, but my mouse and keyboard do not appear to be getting any sort of power or signal from the board, this may be a normal issue when dealing with a BIOS that is messed up, but I figured I would mention it as well.
