BIOS Update Help!

[Jamous]

A few strange things going on eg TV card no working correctly etc, so I decided to do a BIOS update, using the BIOS EZFlash thingy in BIOS. But would not detect USB drive with BIOS file on it.
So thought I'd give the windows Bios Update a go.
Said Erasing BIOS OK
Flashing BIOS OK
Verifying BIOS FAIL

I re-tried and it says cannot read BIOS, even when I open the Asus tool it says "cannot read Asus BIOS"

Now the PC has not shut down or anything, Bbut I'm scared to turn it off incase it won't re-start!

Any helpful suggestions would be great!

Yeah, I see that now! But why supply such software?
Turned it off, now it won't start or do anything, no bios text, just blank screen. looks like the bios is missing or corrupt, I've tried booting from the utility cd but it doesn't boot or do anything.
I don't think it has a removeable bios chip.
Is there anything I can do now?

It is 11 months old so I can send it back, but is this an acceptalbe reason for return? Should I say that I tried to update the bios?

Ok, just wondered if there was something I could do myself, I couldn't get the AFUdos?? program to load from a disc either.
Thanks for the help!
