is my Motherboard bricked?

[Jaan Javed]

i was updating bios through windows
(my mistake) and it failed. so when it turned off i powered it back on i just got a black screen, is my motherboard bricked or can i just buy another bios chip with newer bios version on it and stick it in. my motherboard is a Asus P5W DH Deluxe and my bios chip is not soldered.
Thanks!

You can try inserting the motherboard DVD and restarting the PC. If not recovering, then yes, a BIOS chip would solve the issue.

Try replacing the BIOS chip firstly and test.

to replace it do i just take it out and put the other one in? no other steps needed right?

Take care to install the chip in the same position as the original one, power turned off.

Thank you, I'll report my result in about 2.5 weeks because that's how long its going to take for the chip to come.

OK, post back the result.

If the new BIOS chip is flashed with the latest available version, as it should, then any CPU listed on the ASUS compatibility list should work.

Any info about the blue screen?

it just said that it may be occurring because of bios update, it said to disable some thing in safemode, do you think re installing windows would help?
