    Try doing a BIOS reset using the jumper on the motherboard and the CMOS battery. Prayers might be in order.

    Some motherboard makers incorporate a flash recovery-config jumper or boot block recovery jumper on their motherboards. This can often be used to recover from a bad or failed flash. On most machines a small segment of the flash ROM does not get overwritten when you perform a normal flash update. This small portion of code contains a basic boot block which can enable the machine to reload another BIOS from floppy disk.
    If you have a laptop or desktop without a floppy. You can either fit a floppy in the conventional manner or in some cases a USB floppy or CD-ROM can be used.

    This thread is a great example of BIOS updates gone wrong.

    BIOS updates are (as an unwritten rule) NOT done as an update, but only when something is wrong.

    Hope that you can get it fixed though.

    If you have a floppy drive in another computer format it to be bootable then put all of the file from the bios zip on it. Also make another disk and put on a older version on it. Google how to flash from a bootable floppy. After that remove the floppy drive and cable from the other computer and just temp install on the one with the f up bios. Then boot from the floppy. I am not sure why this went wrong. As long as you had the right computer model and MB this should have gone fine. I have never had a bad bios flash in my 10+ years of IT work. You did everything right from what I can tell.
