I have i5 2500k CPU and Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 mobo. Everything worked fine until I've decided to update bios to 2.1 in hopes of changing CPU to IB in near future.
I've used USB memory stick to flash it. It went without a hitch and it did say that "... update successful - press any key to reboot". So I did and that's when all the problems started.
It wouldn't POST. Just powers on and in a couple of seconds powers off, then powers on again and off - the cycle continues endlessly :/
Before it powers off dubug shows code 59.
I unplubbed it from the wall... I've tried to clear CMOS with a button, jumper, by removing battery - nothing helps.
I've never had problems with officially released BIOS updates before this MBs.. :(
Any other ideas?? Or RMA is the only option?
