System POST hangs after flash: Clear CMOS, try minimal boot, reflash via SPI.
Keyboard/mouse unresponsive after update: Try alternate USB ports, PS/2 if available, check BIOS USB legacy settings.

Use Universal Extractor (7-Zip):
Right-click the downloaded BIOS .exe file.
Select 7-Zip > Open Archive.
Look for a large file with extensions like .bin, .rom, .fd, or .bio. Extract this file to a working folder. This is your "BIOS Image."
Note: If the file is packed inside an InsydeFlash or WinFlash package, the BIOS image is the largest file present.
