So I just a new computer...

CPU: Conroe E6600
Mobo: Asus P5N-32 SLi SE Deluxe
Ram: Corsair XMS DDR2 800
Videocard: XFX 7900GTX
HD: Dual Seagate 320GB

That's it for now.

But basically, everything is plugged in right and when I press the power button, everything starts up, fans go on, HD's start spinning, everything looks like it's working
But Nothing appears on my display. I am going to test the GFX card tomorrow, but someone told me I need to update the BIOS on my Asus Board...

If I do need to update BIOS, is there anyway I can do it without the screen?
I read something about using a good ol floppy disk, but I don't know how to work it.

Help please!

The SE board was made for conroe and only one bios is available for it so there is no new bios to upgrade it to. Try reseting the bios with the jumper on the board (see manual). If that dosn't work try starting it with just one stick of ram installed and no drives.

You need to reset the CMOS. Pull all cords, pop out the battery, put the RTC jumper in the clear position and let it sit for 30 seconds. Put RTC jumper back in default, put the battery back in, plug in the cords and off you go. Theres another post just like this either on this page or the next one.
