This question has been asked and answered in countless threads on this forum but I can repeat it again here. There are only 2 options for a bricked board with a soldered BIOS ROM:

1. Return the board under warranty for replacement/repair.
2. Use an external ROM flasher with a clamp to reflash the BIOS with a working version.

For the first option (which I recommend) you need to contact ASRock Tech Support here:
https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp

For the second option you will need to search Youtube for a tutorial, if you do not have experience working with 3rd party external ROM programmers I would not advise this route. It requires purchasing the correct tools and a lot of research. Alternatively, you could look for a Tech that possesses the tools and knowledge to do it for you.

Critism and speculation. Sadly we post for answers. My motherboard was doing a bios update with a 1000W PSU, correctly as someone asked. And the board was resetting for whatever reason, problem seemed to had gone so I tried to do a bios update from 4.90 to 5.**. I was able to read "Do Not Turn Off..." then the motherboard decided to reset...

Now, again, question OP asked, over 3 months ago, still applies...

Is there a fix, keep critism's and speculations to a minimum as this is a forum to help others not to slander and insult them on something they wish to fix... Every community has to be a Negative Nancy, why do you think this one should too?

No I didn't use a pencil to tighten up the Flange-valve on the DDR2 adapter to be compatible with DDR4 (joke).

Thanks in advance, feel like I'll have to go elsewhere considering OP's question and responses given!
So critical to make a new account to ask/answer a question. Needs to be more secure than my grandma's va-jj, yet it's simple info...

Password/Username phishing done by the pro's right here...
