why would you try flashing a bios for a non boot issue???!!!!! it still amazes me that people think a bios update will fix any and all problems, when in reality all it does is dig a deeper hole by adding yet another issue...namely a corrupted bios to go along with the no boot issue in this case

 

all you had to do (before trying a bios flash) is

 

1.determine if the boot drive shows in the bios and if it's the listed boot device if drive/ssd is shown as a boot device go to 2

 

2. try booting into recovery mode, if not possible try a bootable utility Disk/usb key and if system boots from util device see if the main boot device can be seen and run a OS recovery (there are numerous util disks and methods to do a OS reinstall that preserves existing data, but you should still back up any wanted data before a Restore/repair is attempted 

 

3. if necessary run a SSD/drive check from the util disk to confirm the device has not failed or is failing

 

4. if the above is not successful, a clean OS install can be done

 

trying to flash a bios when you have  existing problem is the worst thing you can do!!! you need to fix any existing issues before trying to do a bios update.
