MSI Z97 problem after bios update

[jaxter]

Hi all,now im no newb but no expert i have built around 30 systems though. My latest build is aroubd a msi z97 G55 sli motherboard, an i5 cpu, 2 x sticks 4gig crucial ballistix sport memory, a Zotac amp gtx 980, a 240gb pny ssd drive and a wd caviar blue 1tb drive, 1000w Zalman psu.
This is all fitted into an nzxt ht440 case, it was all running great but boot times were a little long and sometimes the ssd containing operating system was not being detected, minor niggles so i thought id do a bios update to solve them.
So i have got the correct updated bios and gone into bios setting and updated from usb flash drive using mflash, it all went perfectly but upon rebooting my pc is now stuck in a cycle of powering up for 2 seconds then losing power then powering up and losing power in a loop, so i can not get into the bios any longer.
I have tried clearing cmos by removing battery and also by shorting the pins on the jbat as instructed in mobo manual all to no avail, ive tried this with all components disconnected as well still no joy. I really dont know what to do next but reading around a few people have had this issue with msi bios unfortunately ive seen no solution, im so hassled help

Does the board have a bios recovery feature on it? I looked at the msi description of the board but didn't see a second bios mentioned so a recovery utility is the only way to go if it is a single bios. If you don't have one then time to take it back and get another one.

The drive not being detected could be from a frozen ssd controller, it happens to the best of them including my Samsung 840 pro which recently froze up on me. I"ve lost 3 ssd's to this over the past few years and it has always been the drive controller in panic. Just remember that you cannot rapidly power cycle a ssd or this will happen.j Just three weeks ago I had a failing ps take out a sf ssd. I'd get the ssd manufacturers drive utility if they have one and use it to check the drive out to know for certain.

Well i have given up on this, just got an Asus maximus board and will be returning the msi board for a refund, i wish i could sue msi for wasting my bloody time, suffice to say thats the last msi product i`ll be buying they know full well about this issue yet continue to sell product.
