OMG my bios don't work

I pulled the latest bios off of the giga-byte website yesterday and flashed my bios. I used the software that was included with the motherboard (Bios) program. After a complete flash my pc will not post anymore. I can't get even get to the screen to press the delete key to get into bios. This board is a 7n400 pro2 ver.2 (brand new) and I used the (bios_7n400vp2_f6.exe) file to flash my bios. I tried clearing cmos settings and also removed the power and battery from the motherboard for about 10 minutes. When I turn on the pc, the monitor's little power light just sits there blinking at me.How can I get the backup bios to work? Anyone have anyidea what to do besides buy another new mobo?
 
If you saved the OLD BIOS to the HD, you will need to install
the HD on another system to gain access and copy it to a floppy.

Then use the DOS FLASH utility from Gigabyte's website.

That's why it is a good idea to save it to a FLOPPY before flashing.

Do you have a Hyper Threading enable Processor installed?
If so, did you disable it before FLASHING?
If you didn't, their is a good chance that the copy of the old BIOS
will be corrupted.
 
Have you tried holding down the Insert key at startup? Don't know if Gigabyte will sell you a new BIOS chip with the flash you want pre-installed, but you can get one for sure at www.badflash.com; I've had great results with their services.
 
gigabyte boards have dual bios, at least most newer ones do. just look in your manual on how to use the backup bios, it should tell you in there, or check the site. i have a ga7vaxp board, says it has dual bios on the box, don't know how to use it, never had the need to.
 
I've been testing it all morning. Then I called giga-byte, and they said I did everything I could. So I got a rma# from where I got it. Giga-byte guarnteed that the backup bios would work, but they didn't. So I'll just have to wait for a new board to come in. When ever that will be.
