I tried flashing my bios the other day and it went through fine.. But when I restart the computer I hear a continous beep. I can cut the computer back off and the thing still beeps at me. The flash went through fine (no errors) but I guess it wasnt the right one.. I have award bios and flashed it with Kada2ba5.bin I guess what I am asking is there a way to clear the chip and start over. or did I end up owning my cpu :(

Lots of possibilities (maybe you flashed the wrong BIOS), but the basic problem is you now have a dead motherboard. Check the FAQs on the main www.wimsbios.com site for "My motherboard is dead", but if you have nothing on the screen you are probably looking at either the hot-flash recovery technique, or a replacement BIOS from www.badflash.com or the mobo manufacturer.
You told us what file you used but not what your motherboard was....
