    If you flashed the BIOS and nothing was wrong with the machine all bets are off...
    What exactly did you DLoad and run from that page ? ?
    And why ? ?
    A little more history on what got you to this point will be very helpful...

      i downloaded the bios update. the exe one installed it and it restart  my computer really fast. i9 did it so i can enable usb 2.0 or high speed.

      Did you Click Here  and read all the Warnings first ? ?

      According to that info the BIOS flash is not that quick for that machine...they state 2 minutes or so and if you have turned the machine off prematurely it's not a good thing.

      They also post instructions on recording the old BIOS...did you follow this step ? ?
      If not this board may be headed to the shop....
