Tried to update to the lastest BIOS and the update failed. Board will not post. Are they any options to get it working again?
 
Thank you,

    You could reach out to evga support through the ticket system in the “my products” section and see if they can send you a new bios chip. It looks to be replaceable on the z170 FTW.

    Yes, contact EVGA (call) like The_Scarlet_One said and see if you can get another replaceable and pre-flashed BIOS chip..The replaceable BIOS chip is located inside a clamshell holder below the 24-pin mobo connector and it only fits in properly in one direction.
