BIOS flash gone bad?

Flashed my EP45-UD3P via @BIOS, the application said it completed successfully (also note, I took off my OC and did the flash @ stock settings to ensure success), so I start the mandatory restart. When it starts to POST I accidentally hit F12, which is the "boot menu" key, upon entering the boot menu the system locks up and becomes unresponsive, I am forced to shut down via holding down the power button. Start the rig up again and all I get is the fans going full 100%, nothing else, won't respond to holding down the power button so I'm forced to shut it down via the PSU switch. Now whenever I start the system up all I get is the fans going 100% full blast, nothing else. Tried leaving the CMOS battery out for a few mins to clear it, didn't do anything.

Guessing I've bricked my board? Thanks ahead of time.
 
Replace the CMOS battery (it's a CR2032 watch battery), reset the CMOS, and try again.

If that doesn't work, try a barebones bench test (follow the instructions in the troubleshooting sticky); but if you still can't get your board to respond then, you may have bricked it.
