Troubleshooting
Replacing a BIOS chip
Replacing a BIOS chip is typically unnecessary. In most cases, this is only needed after
one of the following:
Power failure during a BIOS update
Failed overclock that does not recover after a hard CMOS reset
Your motherboard was purchased just as a new line of CPUs were being
released and you purchased the motherboard and one of the new CPUs at the
same time (e.g. The Intel Broadwell CPUs launched approximately nine months
after the Z97 motherboards launched). Chances are, if you purchased the board
and CPU together in that timeframe, retail motherboards may not have the
latest BIOS with compatibility added for that new CPU, and the board may
need a BIOS update to be able to POST successfully.

IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE BIOS CHIP
