I am sorry if this is right group to post
I have a gateway mx6454 and download BIOS update Winphlash1656.exe from
Gateway.
I followed the readme file to update the BIOS utility that flashes the BIOS
on the motherboard.
Load New BIOS -- Pass
Analyze Old and New BIOS Compatibility -- Pass
Read Old BIOS --- Pass
Save old BIOS to backup file -- Pass
Flash New BIOS -- failed

The readme file said I should reboot then try the step "Flash BIOS" again.
I missed the step of reboot and did "Flash BIOS" again.
Now:
Load New BIOS -- Pass
Analyze Old and New BIOS Compatibility -- Pass
Read Old BIOS --- Pass
Save old BIOS to backup file -- Pass
Flash New BIOS -- failed -- the computer is freeze, dead.
Even I click and hold power botton the computer still freeze do not turn off
I waiting for 8 hours and do not know how to do.

Please advise
Thanks
