Spróbuj tej procedury:

The procedure you undoubtedly all heard about, worked on older
motherboards with AWARD BIOSes which contained a boot block that is not
erased/programmed during a flash (remember those little red sectors when
you flashed the last time?). This version Award BIOS also contains
support for ISA VGA cards to help one in the recovery process (PCI/AGP
cards won't work as their I/O code is too big to fit the small size of
the boot block hence they're not loaded). However since there's no ISA
on this motherboard you'll have to try the procedure blind. Nice
prospect eh?

Here we go:

1. Create a boot floppy and copy awdflash.exe and the bios file you wish
to try to load.

2. Create an autoexec.bat file in notepad (save the notepad file with a
.bat extention) with the following text:

awdflash.exe [name of the BIOS file.extention] /py /sn

For instance awdflash.exe a7v1005c.awd /py /sn.

3. ASUS's flasher doesn't support command switches AFAIK so download the
more general awdflash.exe (as opposed to aflash.exe)

4. Copy this autoexec.bat file on the floppy.

files you should have on the floppy:

BIOS file.
awdflash.exe
autoexec.bat
command.com
drvspaace.bin
io.sys
msdos.sys

5. Disconnect all your devices except the floppy, CPU, RAM, Keyboard.
(no Sound, Modem, NIC, HDDs or whatever)

6. Boot up. You should be able to see some activity on the Floppy
Drive's LED. If it just stays there doing nothing it may mean bad news.
Nonetheless If you notice activity get on your knees and start praying.
Let it finish and the FDD's light must be off for a few good minutes
just to be sure before you reboot. Clear the CMOS and thank God.
