MB wont boot after bios update

Chances are it hasn't flashed properly. I'm not sure of what else you can do other than attempting to RMA it if that's possible. If it has a removeable BIOS chip then you might be able to send it back to Gigabyte to get it re-flashed so you can use the board again. For future reference though, never EVER flash a BIOS from Windows, always use DOS with (preferably) a USB key. Floppy disks are fine, but there's a higher chance of it not reading the data properly as floppies aren't ultra reliable.
Badflash.com is worth a read.
Some BIOSes support a recovery mode whereby if you put the BIOS on a FDD, just connect the FDD to the mainboard and leave it to boot after a couple of minutes the disk is accessed. After some chugging noise and a 5 min wait you can restart and it may be workin. Note there is no onscreen display at this point so patience is a virtue!
I have this with a skt 939 MSI board. Have a read around and give it a shot.
