Hi, i update BIOS from inside BIOS utility in board  http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/FM2A78M%20Pro4+/index.es.asp" rel="nofollow - FM2A78M Pro4+  it says ok, but when reboot nothing happens, only black screen.
I buy a ch341a programmer and read the bios chip, and all is empty :(
But when i download BIOS from Asrock site, all 3 options (Win, Dos and InstantFlash) are not a clean BIN or HEX file to flash.
How can i extract the clean bios hex to reflash my board? Where can i download a clean bios file?
My mother was bricked using the Asrock bios utility and now i've got a brick on my desktop.

Thanks in advance.

" rel="nofollow - changonie, I DLed all three and I think only the ROM (BIOS) file has a chance.  It is 8,392,704 bytes, 4096 bytes more than 8 MB.  I can only suggest you research your BIOS type and try to determine why it is this size.  You should probably open a ticket with ASRock and ask them.  Is it an AMI BIOS?  Good luck and enjoy, John.
