    FlashMenu works fine if you take a few sensible precautions same as if flashing in DOS but with either there is always a very small chance of a bad flash.
    You didn't use the latest version either.

    If it hasn't programmed the bootblock then you may well be able to recover from it.

    If you send me your bios chip I will reflash for you. Or if you live near the abit office you can bring it in.

    Now this is a response, and a service, that you won't get from ASUS, or probably anyone else.

    Best bet is NOT to use Windows utility to flash BIOS.
    Try to make each and every day the best it can be.
