Replaced BIOS chip in mobo, now freezes on startup...

Okay here's the deal: tried upgrading BIOS on my own, stupid bloke helping me didn't tell me I had to disable all USB deviced, upgrade failed, chip was useless.
Brought it in to local repair shop who by some miracle happened to program ROM chips. Couldn't program my ROM chip, insteal programmed and installed an EEPROM chip in my PC. Boots up initially okay but freezes once it gets into disk work, like Scandisk, OS installation, floppy drive, etc.
What could be the problem. I am really angry over this, as I have just spent $350 on new parts, and now $150 ontop of that for this chip stuff. I know have no money left and a dead PC loaded with new parts.
PLEASE help me.
