Alright here's the problem I am currently facing, I bought this Mobo off of Ebay and it arrived today, the lights and all turn on but all the check LEDS above the EATXPWR are not lighting up, so i used a programmer and the Chip only gets shown as either a W25Q128JV and W25Q128BV and not what the actual Chip is, the actual chip is W25Q128FV now i tried using theW25Q128JV but that didnt work either, reading the chip works fine, now im confused at what todo? Is the Chip Corupt or something? If so where can i get that Chip to get my PC working?

Alright, so i just plugged it in like it is said on the manual, but it doesnt show anything, nor does it say if anything is being done, i do have the file named Z17PG.CAP, so just wait or is there something wrong?

According to the manual, your board has a BIOS recovery option, ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 page 2-3.

How are you powering the board up?

Update, it saldy did not work, and the chip heated up pretty badly, like really hot. Nothing happend after running the computer with the stick inserted at the currect slot. What now?

Edit: had the chip the wrong way, but still nothing happend when correct way

Alright I deleted both the BV and JV version and then flashed the BIOS onto it and it worked that way, for those not knowing wich one to flash it onto, use the JV version, should work that way!
So Problem Solved
