Well, it crashed and I was stuck with a half written flash. Having an ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard with it's crashfree BIOS, I figured "oh I'll just restart and recover". Well that didn't go so good and the crashfree feature well, didn't even work. I tried the normal tricks, from PCI graphics card, removing everything but one stick of RAM and CPU, changing the CPU to even trying to follow beep tones that ASUS documents to aid you though crashfree (there was no tones). The board was cactus and out of warranty...
Lucky this board has a DIP socket which allows you to remove the flash IC which stores the BIOS:
