1. Which Bios are you using

2. Have you overclock the CPU and or the memory.

Does it go to 00 if you do a restart?

F6i bios..I did overclock before..but ive loaded default settings several times after, and yes after restart its 00. Now I can just load the os .. cant get to the bios also got a black screen.. but just one beep and debug says a9 which should be ok!?

It _could_ be SSD related as its probable the error happened as the BIOS was handing over to the Windows OS, could be caused by a lot of things including damaged hardware though.

I updated to a latest bios f6l..thinking its going to help..still cant get to the bios..black screen..any ideas??

Reset the CMOS (but you've flashed the bios so that may not do anything)

Did that.. next step is probably remove all the hardware.. or downgrade the bios !?

If you have any USB storage devices (basically just have mouse keyboard fitted) unplug them.

You dont even need any SATA drives connected to get into the BIOS.

Are you able to boot into windows and have it running ok.
Error code 73 should not stop anything from working I get it now and again at default bios settings and when overclock but have no problems it could just be a bios bug.
