hello. just built a new system with ASRock Z170M Extreme4. powered up fine, everything looked good in BIOS. had heard it was good to update BIOS asap so kicked off the internet flash thing.
internet flash downloaded BIOS v1.70, started the update, got to 86% "Processing crashless feature ..." and hung there. waited 30 minutes, nothing happening, had no choice (afaik) but to power down and restart.
of course no restart: black screen of death and nothing happens. guess i pooched the BIOS. :(
is there anything i can do?
Download page at ASRock site says "If the Flash Memory Writer utility was not able to successfully update ... your system will need service." that would really suck. i hope there are other options here.
please advise.
