    I have been running the m1406 bios for my p5q-e and just updated to the m1703 bios. I used asus update and the bios was applied successfully. I rebooted and then entered setup. The bios confirmed it was bios 1703. I tried to load from a saved OC profile but the settings were not applied correctly so I had to manually update all bios settings. I set everything to the way it was when running the m1406 bios but noticed that several options were missing like ez flash. I saved my settings and rebooted and now I get nothing.

    Computer turns on and fans run but I just get a blank screen. I powered off the computer and removed the power cable. Set the jumper to clear cmos position for about 10 seconds and then put back to normal and tried to boot. Still I get nothing.

    Is there any way to roll back to the old bios? Seems like my mb is hosed now.

    Can the bios chips even be remove? I just tried what ket had mentioned in regards to another issue (pulled the power and then pressed power button several times for 3 seconds each time to discharge the capicitors and then let it sit with no power for 10 minutes). If I try the bios chip swap, which one is the primary and which one is the backup?

    No need to know that, just change them like -> 1-2 TO 2-1 (atleast if you just want have it work now, when you want know wich is the damaged i think its just a test-n-see)

    And yes bios chips can be removed, just whit a fingers
