You should be able to buy a new BIOS chip from Gigabyte or an independent shop like MR BIOS.

Your BIOS chip is corrupt. Unless your MB has a "backup BIOS" or other such recovery feature, you'll need a working system to reprogram your BIOS chip.

Agreed - if you have no way to enter the BIOS, how can you fix it? You either need a backup to fix it, or will need a new chip.
