Hi!
Can someone please help me find my Bios Chipp?

http://prohardver.hu/html/lap/915_shootout2/asus/mobo.jpg

I´m going get a Bios Savior so I can start my computer again (can´t boot and update my bios), and before I do that I need to get a "seriel number" or a "tilte" on the Bios chip to get a new exactly the same as tehe orginal! One more question...how can I remove the chip?
Thank You Very Much...very appreciated

I've never actually taken one out, but I believe you can just lever it out. I think the connectors on all 4 sides are spring-loaded to keep it in place. There seem to be grooves at 2 of the corners to assist in removal.
 
I would not recommend using a screwdriver or similiar tool to just "pry" the BIOS chip out as you run the risk of messing up the BIOS socket. They make tools specifically to remove BIOS chips and if you are certain on DIY, then a BIOS chip removal tool would be worth the money; especially if you are going to buy a replacement BIOS chip.

Good luck!
