Going to corroborate this with that I had a really similar experience with my old Sabertooth 990FX board. Was supposed to support Bulldozer, and they put out a BIOS update the night before Bulldozer launched. I grabbed the update, put it on a flash drive, and updated the board. It would never post after that. RAM, CPU (FX6100), graphics card were all reseated multiple times. Never even gave post beeps, so there wasn’t even a hint as to what was going on. Even tried a different PSU just to be safe.

ASUS told me to get shafted because they couldn’t guarantee I updated the BIOS safely.

CompUSA exchanged it with a pre-updated board, no questions asked.

I fucking miss. That. Store.
