flashed to 3402, from a rock solid stable 2101. system will not boot now at all. switched over to other bios, same thing - will not boot. tried renaming at least 10 different biose's versions to "R5E.CAP" and biosflashbacked them to both bios tons of times and system won't boot. removed all usb devices except mouse and KB, tried every pcie slot with video card, wont boot, removed CMOS for an hour.
tried every stick of ram in every possible slot , no other options left. 7 hours of tireless troubleshooting. board has been bricked - absolutely nothing will post on monitor. im all out of options. anyone got any miracle solutions? I have done 150-200 or so flashes over the past 2 years, maybe i just killed the bios chips?

You have to reprogram your bios chip with an external Eeprom programmer like EZP2010 in order to fix your issues.

I had a strange problem i suspect might be related to this bios version:
flashed it some weeks ago, but yesterday morning my audiocard wouldn't initialize so i turned the computer of and disconnected mains for 10 minutes or so while investigating the soundcard,
upon poweron the "bios is updating " screen appeared out of nowhere and the computer rebooted several times, so i loaded the DVD and flashed the supplied bios which worked, then in windows again i flashed 3402 again (granted perhaps i should have put it on a stick and flashed it that way but anyhow)
this worked out, but after flashing my machine always entered bios upon reboot, even thou correct boot disk marked in boot, but i could boot os using f8 menu, but OS was not stable, went in to bios an found that it had entered some very strange settings here and there, loaded defaults, could now boot ok but still having to use f8, but os crashed after a while, ran a memtest and computer did still shutoff,
now i started to suspect something either have gone broken or there was still a bios issue so i loaded 3301 on a usb and flashed, now i can get my machine to boot os, and it has been stable running stresstest all night. One thing i did notice is that whne i flashed 3402 i never got the post message asking me to enter bios upon completion, but got this screen now when flashing 3301
What could be the RCA here? Virus that tried to do something to bios or maybe the bios flash did not complete for some reason? or some kind of incompatibility, i do not run overclocked at this time as i wait for a new fan to my h110i (running on one fan works ok but i dont want to push it )

I would try reflashing it with 3402, or maybe switch to BIOS 2 and flash that one with 3402 and see if you get the same issue. If so, switch back to BIOS 1 for further troubleshooting/research.
