my p5b premium has bios recovery for bad flash, just put the m/b cd in your drive and it should attempt to recover, if not hold ctrl-home when booting to force it. (can also use floppy or usb if prepared)

You can't get into the bios anymore? If you can then you should be able to flash it to an older bios from the hd/floppy/usb. I'm guessing you've already tried the cmos battery/jumper trick.

Only thing you can do is send it away to get a new EPROM chip soldered in. You cant remove the EPROM, right?

I think you can only RMA directly to Asus if you live in the US, otherwise you have to go through the place you bought it from.

dear sir,

I advice to do a CMOS reset as according to the manual. If this doesn't work please return the motherboard to your point of purchase for warranty at Asus.

best regards,
TSD@Asus
