I would clear the BIOS by using the jumper
Then go into the BIOS and set it to default and see if it will boot into windows.
If it still fails to boot I would format and clean install.

Personally, if everything was working fine before you updated the bios i would reflash to the version you had before OR i would manually download the correct bios from the website and reflash with it. I have to pull up your original post but i think there was an issue with the new bios being the wrong one for your board. The jumper only clears out settings, it doesnt restore previous versions. I would do that and then format if needed after.
