It sounds like you have done a bad flash to your BIOS aka bricked it. So I would say that you have to RMA the situation 😞

Bad BIOS flashes are covered under warranty. Don't let them tell you otherwise. If you get pushback at the repair center, PM Brian@ASUS or Mason@ASUS.

Is the warranty in Finland the same? I would think so, but you never know.

For future reference, there's a simple outline of the procedure for a safer BIOS flash at the end of my New Drivers sticky.
