what brand ?.
are you sure it THE correct image ?.
does it have dual image bios chips like a gigabyte ?

 

You need is a bios chip form another motherbord the same.
Take out the bios and put it in your machine start up your machine then
remove the bios and replacewith your your bios.(do not switch off the pc)
Then flash your bios with the correct software.

Might be able to contact a supplier of whatever brand it is and get a
replacement BIOS flash chip sent to you with the correct preloaded BIOS
version for your board.

 

normally if it still posts you get it right the second time . or as you
suggest replace the chip

 

Hi!
Just head over to this link.

I did the same to my bios and they fixed it quite quickly.

Ditto. Been there - done that. Either replace the bios chip or throw the
motherboard. I threw the motherboard, but it was a damned sight older
than three moths; several caterpillars, in fact.

My motherboard has a fallback for when bios flashing goes wrong, if it
starts to boot and detects a bad bios it reads the floppy for a bios
flash image called amiboot.bin and flashes itself with that,
maybe yours has something similar?

 

What brand and model is your motherboard, I toasted mine aswell but was able
to get it back, usually you can copy the correct bios on a floppy and hold
down some keys to load the correct bios from the floppy. Give us your model
number and I'll find out if you can do it.
