Boot-up Problem with Chaintech 7-SID

I have a 7SID and recently it is having problems booting up.
When I switch on the PC, the floppy light comes on and it tells me my BIOS is corrupted & it is now in 'boot block' mode. It also wants me to insert system disk. If I then switch off the PC by powering off using the button on the PSU, then flick the switch back on, then boot up the PC in the normal manner, it boots up with no problem.
What's the matter with the board? Do I have to reflash the bios? If so how can I reflash? What should I do if the aforementioned method doesn't work anymore? How can I recover the BIOS?
This problem started today, and my PC is nearly 6 mths old. The problem is so wierd that I tested it by powering off then back on again (not rebooting), and it happens everytime I tested it.
What's wrong?? The computer is very important as I need it for assignment work.
Pls note that the BIOS date is 6 Aug 2001 & I have not flashed it. The problem just appeared out of the blue today.
My PSU is Enermax 365w (AMD approved).
 
You may want to try simply removing all the power cables and shorting the cmos and/or replacing the cmos battery.

Then boot up and reset the correct time and date and go from there.................
