sure... but has the board damaged ya CPU ? Ya OC ? or is just an irreversible bios flash that cannot be corrected unless you RMA the board...
OC is not even in the picture here. This is all on Stock. The CPU will NOT run on Stock on any BIOS > 0803. Only on 0803 is the CPU functional and I can boot into Vista.

If the CPU won't run Stock on an Official BIOS release greater then 0803, then yes, I definately have something to butt heads against with ASUS. With Intel, I'm not sure.

I don't have any concrete proof the CPU is damaged - I don't have another board to test it in. The basics I have right now is that my CPU will NOT FUNCTION with the "CPU Margin Enhancement" setting available in the BIOS - regardless of what value you give that setting. That, in my opinion, is unacceptable - as that Setting is available in all current, post 0803 BIOS releases by ASUS.

The valid argument here is: You are releasing & providing a BIOS that is crippling function of my CPU. Has it damaged my CPU permanently, I don't know! You need to prove it by providing me with a functional, current release BIOS that works with my CPU.
