I just installed this board today and everything was working perfectly. At the end of all the setting up and reboots I let the automatic updater update the bios. The computer reboot, was doing its final bios update stuff and rebooted itself the second it hit 100%. After the reboot it refuses to post and all I get is a black screen. I've tried flashing the CMOS, pulling out all but 1 RAM, removing both video cards as well as using just 1. Nothing seems to fix it and I can't find any answers anywhere.

Specs:
ASUS Maximus VII Hero
Intel 4790k
2 EGVA GTX 570
1 Velociraptor 500 GB 10k RPM HDD
8 GB GSkill Ripjaws X DDR3 2200

SOLVED! For those of you having this problem, it would seem that it is an issue with the bios. Use the biosflash utility with an earlier or newer version and it should fix it just fine.
 
Solution
Better still, leave the BIOS alone if your system is working okay on the existing version. BIOS updates are applied to fix problems or to solve compatibility issues. No problems, no issues, you shouldn't have messed with it in the first place.
