Well that isn't good Unfortunately the You are then left with 2 choices, return the board or purchase a new BIOS chip for it http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA" rel="nofollow - here . ASRock will ship you a new BIOS chip preflashed with the latest BIOS already. It is very unpleasant when this kind of thing happens during a flash, you have my sympathy.

Instant Flash failures are rare, I've never had one fail for me. DON"T turn off the PC if it is still on. You can try pressing the Reset button on the PC, and the update might finish on its own. Of course don't remove the USB flash drive. If you were using the Internet Flash feature, if you can on another PC, download, unzip, and copy the UEFI file to a USB flash drive. Put the flash drive in a USB 2.0 port on the PC, and press the Reset button. If you did turn off the PC, have the flash drive in the PC and start it up and hope for the best. Good luck and let us know what happens. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
