Yesterday I tried to update the BIOS of my Asus a7v8x-la (Award-Phoenix bios) based motherboard with a custom BIOS build.
But the operation was interrupted in the middle, and the PC is now stuck at the bios screen.
I am unable to press the F2 to enter BIOS setup or Del to enter the boot menu.
Nothing happens when I press any key. I waited around 4-5 minutes, but still, it is stuck. No LEDs in keyboard are also blinking.
Could anyone tell me a solution to fix the issue?
Thanks in advance

You could try to reset the bios by removing the CMOS battery.
If this doesn't work, you would need to short out the BIOS and force it to use a backup BIOS which may be available on the BIOS chip. But this operation is better be done by a qualified repairman.
Under extreme conditions, the BIOS chip itself may be exchanged for one that contains a compatible version, which is better better done through your supplier or the manufacturer.
