EFlash Error
DeviceIoControl() returns 24
Please restart your OS and execute the BIOS Embedded Controler update utility again,

Can any buddy help on this

if u can find look for bios sector proction option bios and disable it ,,, and retry..

if ur updating bios from operating system.... disable any antivirus running... also enable cache-able bios if any in bios....

if a bios update fails, normally your motherboard becomes dead.
only 1 possible way out : check if your mobo has a bios recovery system (check your manual for it)
otherwise : new mobo ...sorry
