Read in your manual theres a certain thing u have to do to copy the backed up bios that is not corrupt to the main bios chip. Should be in ur mobo manual. I just got my mobo and i read something similar in the troubleshooting section of the manual
P5Q E Froze After BIOS Update **HELP**
today i reinstall my win vista home premium 32 bits, after that i started instalation of all my apps including my asus apps from the original disc, after installing asus update i checked and there was a new BIOS 1901 (i had 1703) so i decided to flash the bios, i've done that many times whithout a problem, when the computer reebooted it's stuck displaying: "Press DEL to run Setup, Press TAB to display BIOS POST Message" and the intel logo is there, but the keyboard now is not working, i try to reset the BIOS by removing the battery for a few minutes and nothing, then i cleared the rtc (CLRRTC) by swithing the pins and back and still nothing, i removed the ps2 connection on my kb and back and nothing, i connected a usb kb, still nothing, according to my manual my mb has a "DIE HARD BIOS" which is two chips, one of them is a backup and is supposed to restore the BIOS in case of corruption ocurs, my mb is not that old, i got for my birth day last July, any ideas, anybody can help me please...

put the driver disc in the dvd drive. turn on hope for the best
anyone has dealt with ASUS before?
I had almost the same issue with my P5Q-E after attempting to flash to a newer modded BIOS. I didn't reset to defaults so when I flashed my board was already OC'd and it bonked the whole flashing process. I was missing BIOS options and the worst part was that one of them was the EZ Flash utility.
If you're feeling up to it you can do what I did. Power off the computer and remove the power cable. Press the power button on the board a few times to discharge the board and then pull the BIOS battery. From there switch the BIOS chips located at the bottom of the board. There should be 2 of them, just swap their places (make sure you remember which ways they faced, I forgot but as luck would have it I ended up putting them back in the right way). This should put you back to the BIOS that originally shipped with the board and you can flash from there.
