I upgraded the motherboard with an MSI Live Update, but it caused it to become unusable. I then purchased a BIOS flasher to try and resolve the issue, though I’m unsure which BIOS chip corresponds to my MSP67AGD65 motherboard.

These two 8-pin packages are likely the ones you're thinking of.

In the lower right area, there are two chips positioned to the left of the SPI header labeled JSPI1. This is the correct component to use when flashing instead of a basic test clip that often fails. You should connect some donor female-female jumpers and attach the pin headers on the side of the chip without the jumper square. Before proceeding with the SPI flash, try booting using the backup BIOS—you can short the main BIOS at pins 4 and 6 temporarily to disable it. Just use any metal object that can touch those pins to restore functionality.

Sure, I can describe it clearly. Let me explain what I’m talking about in simple terms. Then I’ll show you some images if you’d like.

I managed it—it doesn't require a USB device, but it displays the BIOS splash and then restarts.

Just to note, it seems the issue isn't resolving.
