Went to update my bios to the most current rev 1011. Successful according to Aflash utility, but of course was not. PC is dead. No response other than lights. I was ready to purchase another motherboard, memory, and processor until I read a thread about obtaining a flashed bios chip at www.badflash.com. I ordered the bios chip with my request of version from badflash.com as my last resort before purchasing all that. I received the bios flash in 2 days and now am up and running again. If you have a corrupt bios update, don't mess around and go to badflashes website. Support from ASUS for this board sucks.

I too had a "successful" reprogramming from 1004 to 1011. Cleared the CMOS and then fired back up to a black screen. Worked with a similar outfit to get a new chip programmed to 1011 - inserted the chip and still nothing. All I get is a 2 second delay, a one second beep and then the PC automatically shuts itself off.

I have since cleared the CMOS many times, removed all cards and drives from equation, tried jumper and jumper free modes... I am running out of things to try - any suggestions would be appreciated!
