XC-605 not booting after P11.B4 bios update

I recently updated my XC-605 with P11.B4 bios which I downloaded from the support page. After update using the included afuwinx64.exe in the WIN folder, everything was normal. I rebooted the PC, it emmited a long beep and has no display. Aside from that, the CPU fan is spinning fast and the two front panel LED's was lit. The PC remained at that state even after I removed the CMOS battery, short the jumper to clear the CMOS.

 

 Sadly my warranty just expired last year. I hope somebody has an idea of any work around to fix this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Disconnect HDD-DVD, ram modules and try to boot to BIOS.

     

    if it's not booting, probably BIOS is corrupted.

    If the bios is corrupted, any chance of flashing it again with the correct firmware?

    You need the BIOS recovery procedure but i don't have one working for your model.

    I guess this pc has to go storage for now. Thanks for the replies IronFly.
