Try the below:

Know, that may not work in this instance.

If after following step 5's 4hr period you still don't get anywhere, leave it sit battery-less and jumpered for a 12-24hr period.

Short of these I'm guessing you'll need a new BIOS chip.

Same here , ( http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1866&title=fm2a88x-killer ) same mobo same situation , bios flashing gone right i got the msg press enter to restart and now 1 + 1/2 day never seen a post from this mobo . ( tried cmosed with power off and battery off for 10+ hours , with 1 stick ram of twos , vga remove re installed . nothing . ) it might be a corrupted bios or a mobos fault cause from little googling i ve seen several ppls losing their x88 fatalitys with these steps at last one month . ( bios flash etc )

Ps i dont want to sound negative but ur mobo might prolly never boot up again . Better to be wrong but thats my opinion .

My mobo when it bricked out yesterday was ONE day beyond shops guarrantee . So i bought a new one .

Why? All it needs is a $15.00US BIOS chip easily obtained from ASRock or off eBay from BIOS Depot.

A complete new board IMO is wee bit excessive.

That's what I figured but wasn't quite sure how to put it into words here.

Asrock should do something about this because they are the ones who released the updates. I havent even used it.

If they don't list a BIOS chip for your board msg them through eBay Messaging with your boards model and they'll reply with a link to an eBay Item that they will create for you to purchase one from them.

Nice people with fast shipping.
