Hello

Tried to add NVMe support to my old ASUS Z87-A with a 4770K processor.
Followed the guide and flashed the bios with ASUS EZ FLASH by exchanging the original file with the modified Bios CAP file.
I didnt see that the flash finished. I started the flash and then went away and when I came back the the EZ Flash program was closed. The computer seemed to work good so i rebooted.
After reboot I have a black screen and it doesnt boot or POST. First the mouse and keyboard worked but now it seems like they are dead to. When I opened the chassie I see that the CPU_LED are red.

Tried:
Reset Bios settings.
Remove Bios Battery both for 5 min and 24H. (at the same time I was reseting the settings).
Replacing Bios Battery.
ASUS Crashfree BIOS utility (but since I cant see anything I cant do anything).
Removed all nonessential hardware.

Is there any other suggestions of things to try before I start saving for a new MB, Processor and RAM?

Best Regards!!
