ECS X58B-A2 Bad BIOS flash - HELP needed please

[3BABY]

Hey Guys,

yeah i know what your thinking and im thinking the same.. shouldnt have bought ECS.. anyways. i have got an X58B-A2 board and upon flashing to the latest BIOS win AFUDOS in "dos" mode the flash went ok, checksum'd all good, then i restarted to get the the board POSTing all ok and just before it gets to the booting an OS i get the messages pictured below, ok so F1 set time etc etc and F10 Enter, then i get the seccond pic, and it keeps goin on like this,

as now i cant boot to my USB-Floppy i cant flash the old BIOS back. has anyone got any ideas (apart from RMA), or does anyone know of a way to flash the EEPROM through the SPI jumpers?

thanks in advance

You need a programmer.

Looks like it would work but you would have to write your own programming software.

Boards back alive.. had to buy a programmer.. not the one in the post above as they dont support these devices.

Fun Times ..
