Team,
 
First of all I know this question was already answered in a number of different ways in this forum and other places but wanted to triple check and get a fresh answer before any additional step so really hope you dont mind to see the same exactly question duplicated here.
 
So I got a new Classified K z370 / 8700k / 2x Corsair Dominators 3000mhz / EVGA FTW3 1080ti where I was able to deploy everything without any problem - windows up and running, everything was performing as expected, 8700k with a little bit of an OC at 4.7ghz all beautiful! My problem started when I have decided to update my BIOS from 1.07 to 1.08 using the BIOS available in EVGA site (tried to post the exact link of the BIOS I used but forum is deleting the link so) 
 
For some crazy reason after this update I was able to start my desktop one more time and then started to get an error code 23 - no beeps, no POST, lot of error leds lit and even the fan spin is different.
After a few "light" troubleshooting no changes. Tried to unplug the PC for about 12hrs - same thing.
 
When I switch to the second BIOS everything is back to normal ! all clear and good ! and of course just to avoid any other crazy brick I did not change a single option in BIOS here - all stock - and if I return back to the first BIOS I got exactly the same error 23.
 
So what is the recommendation here to recover the first BIOS in a way I dont have any risk to corrupt the second BIOS?
 
Thanks all!

    Change over to another Known Good Bios Boot into the Bios and then change to the bad Bios and update the Bios from within the Bios.
    Remember to write down or snap images (F12 in the Bios) of your Bios before updating to a new Bios.
    Also Make Sure you set the Bios Back to the Default Settings, to do this Press and Hold the Small Red Button on the I/P Panel as you Power On and Hold for a count of 6 or 7 and then update the Bios.

    Thanks @bcavnaugh!
     
    Just to make sure I understood what you are saying:
    1) Switch to SECOND BIOS
    2) Enter in BIOS
    3) While BIOS is UP, switch back to FIRST BIOS
    4) Do the update again
    5) Be happy?
     
    Is that what you said? sorry just wanted to make sure everything is very clear for me.
