Please post the output of 'lspci -tvnn' and 'superiotool -dV' from the board.
Also, is your BIOS chip in a socket or soldered on the board? Please also run 'flashrom -V' to check if flashrom supports your board (and post the output here).
If you have a backup/spare BIOS chip you can try flashing the epia-m target and see how it goes. Do _not_ do this if you don't have a verified backup ROM chip with your original vendor BIOS!
I attached the output of the three tools above. I'm a newb so I've not flashed the bios on this thing yet. Everything looks soldered.
As far as I can tell the vendor bios is: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/downloads.jsp?motherboard_id=47...
