What two characters are showing up on the debug LED?

Had the very same issue. Asus A88X-PRO with an Athlon 860K. BIOS Flashback was the solution. Download the latest BIOS firmware, rename the file to A88XPRO.CAP and make sure the USB flash drive you load it on to is formatted to FAT32. Make sure everything is off, put the flash drive in the BIOS Flashback slot and press (and hold for about three seconds) the BIOS Flashback button on the motherboard, it's just above the SATA ports. Let it do it's thing. When it's done, the BIOS Flashback light will stop blinking.

Latest BIOS and you're good to go.
