bad bios flash

[implosiveturnip]

So I just nought a new mobo and cpu from OCUK (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-014-FC&groupid=595&catid=689 and a Celeron g1610), and it turns out I needed a BIOS update to support Ivy-bridge CPUs.

Cool, so I whacked in my SB booted to windows, got the bios and flashed using Foxconn's update utility, restarted and now my board won't boot. I haven't even tried the IVB cpu yet, just getting fans come on and HDD spin up for a sec, then nothing, repeat ad infinitum.

What to do? Or am I doomed? :/ The boards manual offers no insight at all.

Done, and used the clear cmos header too. I'm more ****ed off at the fact that foxconn only give the ability to update bios from within windows with some crappy live update utility. there was no option in the BIOS whatsoever.
