Alright, went for it and flashed. And ik works fine. After some scary moments for me. So, UEFI boot, here I come.
@TimeWalker: thanks for uploading the BIOS.
I asked krzysio30 and he sent me his A16 capsule, which gave me same result: I couldn't do anything. Did a hex compare on his capsule and the A16 capsule I made before, indeed they were identical. He tried with my capsule as well, same result for him. I even downflashed my BIOS to A16 to make sure I was doing everything exactly identical as he did, same result. Only thing I could think of he might have a 3D model, whereas I have a non-3D model. And I have permanently disabled computrace, but that shouldn't cause these differences, am I right?
Just to be sure, the file should be named exactly (upper-case and lower-case) BIOS.cap, right?
And as a final thing, for those who are able to enter setup or the boot menu but not boot their OS with the recovery capsule: Windows PE (version 3.0 found inside here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...px?id=5753) might be interesting. Gives you a lightweight Windows Vista/7/8-like OS to boot from USB or CD/DVD, should be enough to run WinFlash in case of a bad flash.
