you have a damaged BIOS on the board. i tried using the bios flashback by connecting a usb and pressing the button—it briefly flashes before stopping, indicating it wasn’t recognized. i’m unsure what to call the file, but i was told the name z97s2u31. since you have IT experience, maybe renaming it to something more descriptive could help. let me know what you think!

Thanks, but I have the file; it seems it should be renamed. Also, the corruption has put the PC in a red boot loop.

The manual states you require the "USB BIOS flashback wizard" to generate a USB flashback device for bios updates. It also mentions renaming the file as an alternative method, though you're unsure of the correct name. Refer to the provided link for detailed instructions.
