Possible Bad Flash?

hey everyone! recently i flashed my bios on my asus P4P800-VM to upgrade it using the asus update utility. Everything went well, no errors or anything. then it told me to reboot and so i did. when it boots up, the bios screen comes up with errors saying "CMOS settings wrong" and "CMOS date/time not set". when i do change the settings, they don't save.

so anyway, it allows me to load the default settings and continue into windows. Windows is fine (except for the clock). I tried using the asus update utility to check my bios information but now it can't even recognize it. noticing this, i look for a more recent version of the update utility and download that. When i install it, it automatically uninstalls the old one but can't install itself since it can't see the asus motherboard. Right now, i'm stuck and don't know what to do. I was thinking maybe there's a way to manually flash the bios and downgrade it back. Not sure though... any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi cawdz and welcome to DevShed.

When you flashed your BIOS the first time, did it ask you if you wanted to save the current BIOS ?
