I have a big problem here. My motherboard is Asus P5A, I just flashed the bios to latest version to support my 40GB HD. But this aflash.exe from Asus become runtime error while flashing my Bios.

Now my bios is corrupted and my motherboard cannot turn on. Because this is a old model and cannot get any similar motherboard from friend to hot swap it.

My question is : can I use the IC programmer to re-programme the Bios chip ? I have the IC programmer Hilo systems and the Bios chip is Winbond W29C020-90.

Any one can help me ?? I really don't want to throw this motherboard away.
Thanks.

You can use any board with 256KB chip support and same socket for hot-flash. You can also use a programmer device that can program flash memory chips.
