You can try flashing the bios, but it may not work. Or, you can email asus tech support and see if they can help you. If the bios is corrupted, you might also be able to order a new bios chip from asus. They also used to flash it for you for $5 if you shipped it to them in protected wrap. But I don't know if they still provide this service.
