does the bios give you a bad checksum message? If so i belive you can recover the bios with the motherboard driver disc.

If you have no post blank screen then, this motherboard has a feature called C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) meaning you power it on to the blank screen and shut it off by pulling the PSU plug and it will activate the CPR feature. and default the bios. I recently had the same problem a failed flash, i will never attempt to flash from windows again. :|

I don't think Cpu paremeter recall will bring back a board bricked by a bad flash but perhps I am wwrong???

YOu could try contacting asus and find out if they would sell you or replace bios chip.

Thanks guys

CPR doesn't fix a bad flash, and I think you're thinking of the Crash Free BIOS, which the Striker doesnt have (Some strange reason ASUS engineers decided to leave out)

I've contacted my retailer for RMA and theyre really slow about it
I've contacted ASUS for RMA and the customer support I would rate a 0 (Seriously, absolutely no help what so ever, horrible horrible service)

I'll ask Tmod and see if my retailer can get their act together and get my RMA sorted out ASAP
