BIOS update problem

Hi, this morning I was on my desktop and there was this ASUS BIOS utility update thing that popped up. So I let it do its thing. When it finished, I clicked the "reboot" button and my computer restarted. I waited 20 minutes and it still didn't do anything- it wouldn't connect to my monitor, and it wouldn't let me shut it down by holding the power button. So, I just unplugged the power cord and turned it back on to see if it does anything. It's been over an hour since then and nothing has changed.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I've tried posting this on other forums, but nothing solved the problem so far)

-Windows 10
-Asus M32CD. This exact comp: http://goo.gl/NqfvA4
-When I turn on the monitor it says "HDM1 NO SIGNAL"

Most probably from the sounds of it, it looks like the BIOS firmware is corrupted. The only way to recover from this situation is via an inbuilt BIOS recovery if the mainboard supports it, or bring it back to an ASUS service center, though I'm not really sure about the warranty for a failed BIOS flash.
