Z690 Maximus Extreme Glacial bricked after bios update ?

Hello,

I have some issues with my Z690 Maximus Extreme Glacial, after doing a bios update today. After updating my bios from version 2204 to 2604 (or 2602, I cant remember) my computer is stuck in a boot loop, and cannot even post...

The thing is that, the second bios of the motherboard, which contains the bios version 2305, is behaving the same way...

Things I have tried :

  - clearing the cmos

  - unplugging every usb devices

  - usb flashback (possible only between 2305, 2403 and 2604, due to ME firmware updates). The flashback seems to work (led flashes for 3-4min, then stop). But same behavior afterwards.

  - starting in "safe mode", by clicking the "safe_mode" button on the bottom of the mobo.

  - starting in "Slow mode".

  - removing one stick of RAM.

  - removing the GPU.

  - found an "unlocked" 2305 bios, that would allow to step down to 2301 : didn't work.

 

Frankly, besides removing the cmos battery, I'm out of ideas (still didn't do it, because the loop is a bit complicated to work with :))

Full specs : 12900k, 3080, 64GB DDR5

Does anyone have idea what's happening here ? Please

Update : 

The board has been repaired and returned to me, it's been working flawlessly for the past week or so:)
Thanks to anyone who took some time to help 🙂 and thanks Asus for this swift repair.
