I would like to know where the bios chip on the MSI H97 pc mate is. my pc crashed during a flash bios, my bios is nonexistent, this is why I want to change my bios chip

sorry for my english... I'm french

After looking at that motherboard, the bios is soldered directly to the motherboard. So it is non replaceable

an expert can replace it , but I still want to know where the chip is. can you give me the location of the chip, I 'd appreciat

I cannot find an image of the board where I can read the wording on the chips on the board. If you can send me a picture of the bottom left corner of the motherboard, I could try to read the info on the chip and see which one is the bios

I found an 8 pin chip on my motherboard . above , it says " winbond 25q128fvsg " . I think that is the bios chip but I 'm not sur .
