Hello,
I have a FTW K X99 and I updated the BIOS 1 from 2.02 to 2.06 in Windows but after the update it wont post any more and shows code 95. BIOS 2 with 2.01 works fine. I tried to reflash BIOS 1 from bios 2 but that has no effect. When I switch to BIOS 1 the board wont post and shows code 95. Clear cmos for BIOS 1 doesn´t change anything. It stays in code 95. Is it possible that I damaged the BIOS chip with the update?
The CPU was not overclocked. When I activate XMP in BIOS 2 I also get code 95 but with BIOS 2 a cmos clear works fine. It seems like I could not clear the cmos for BIOS 1.
Does someone have an clue how I could get BIOS 1 back to work?
Greetz :)

Check all attached MOTHERBOARD power headers:
(X) 24 Pin (X) 8pin EPS 1 () 8pin EPS2 () 6pin PCIE on bottom of motherboard
*If the EPS is plugged in and the release is not on the same side as the tab on the MB EPS header, then you likely have a PCIE 8 pin header plugged in. Detach immediately and do NOT power on as this may cause irreparable damage.**
EPS connector is shown page 8 number 29, there is a tab on the top that the clip of a power cable holds onto. You can see a more clear picture of the cable here: page 7. The tab on the socket and the release on the cable have to click over each other. If not, please get a picture and post it in your troubleshooting thread and we will assist further, do NOT turn it on if these are not aligned.
Check the slots that are populated and provide specific of Component, brand, part number if available of the item present. If the slot is NOT populated please list it as “Empty”, “Unused”, or something to give clear indication that a slot is NOT in use, so there is no grey area in the configuration.
Not all slots are applicable to every board, but this form covers the entire chipset.
The slot listings below are counting ALL slots of 1x, 4x, and 16x from top to bottom, this is not only for the full size slots.
Note: PCI-E 1 is ALWAYS the slot closest to the CPU, and the numbers count up as you move down the board.

Components – Front Panel Headers
Check the components that are in use and provide specific of Component, brand, part number, or link (such as a 5.25 bay that has USB 2/3/eSATA on it) if available of the item present. Also what are these ports plugged into? A straight header (such as a power switch or front headphone and mic ports), or a component with its own PCB (for instance the module on the top of a CM Cosmos Case where the components are attached to a PCB with other components involved for additional function).
Not all slots are applicable to every board, but this form covers the entire chipset.
At any header are you using some intermediary cabling, such as: for example? If the system was working and can no longer power on and there is a third party cable between the motherboard and its intended device, it would be advisable to test without it being present.
