The original bios was 1104...came with the MB. I thought i would get adventurous and upgrade the bios since i was having issues with my mb seeing all of my ram. I have since tried to flashback (just doing the ASUS format like the first bios update and renaming cap to rom...etc.) to the original bios but i get the same....on for a sec...off...on for a sec....off. I have also ordered a new bios chip from eBay...expect to get it within the next couple of days.

Did I do the Flashback incorrectly?

I did the cap converter....but do this again WITHOUT a bios entry on the usb drive?

I did the cap converter WITHOUT a bios on the usb drive....same problem as before...no boot.

I do believe I bricked my mobo...just bought a Rampage IV Black Edition....thx for the assistance.

Yes....a 3 dollar BIOS chip did solve the problem but I decided to go with the new MoBo which is now giving me more problems!
