I had someting very similar happen a couple of weeks ago with my new games shuttle (an SX38P2 Pro), where the bios update program apparently corrupted the flash when it locked up while attempting to make a backup of the current bios.

I ended up having to remove the serial flash chip, build a programmer, and cobble together some software to reflash it with the correct binary file. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked smile

Bios flashing programs are fairly dangerous.
