Ello folks.
First I apologize now as i've not slept much so my head isn't working too well .
I don't use the fast boot or boot manager myself and am still pretty lost in most area's of this bios. It's a scary sight the first time you see it.
Even asus mods recommend you don't use the in windows tool for flashing the bios. Did you set the bios to optimized defaults before flashing to the new bios? You should. I'm using bios 1301 and never had any problems.
The earlier bios's where .rom files but these newer one's are .cap. Before updating to the newer .cap bios's there is a change you have to make. ASUS Bios update - General-Motherboard - Motherboards-Memory
I recommend you start a thread on the ROG forums ASUS Republic of Gamers | The Choice of Champions – News, Guides, Overclocking, PC Gaming
These guys eat sleep and drink ROG bios's.
You have probably already tried but I'll ask anyway. During post hit the F8 button which will bring you to the boot menu. Select the drive to boot from and hit enter.
When you installed windows did you only have the drive that you were installing windows on connected? If more drives were connected then windows could have boot the MBR on a different disc. If you had more drives connected i recommend disconnecting all except the ssd you plan to install windows on and try again.
Here's a couple of screenies of our bios at stock settings. I'm really sorry i'm not much help but ROG bios is not soething i've delved right into.
The 3rd screeshot is the Asmedia sata port.
