P67-UD7-B3 unable to boot after hitting reset button

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I don't have a floppy drive!  Since I can't get windows to load, I can't run @BIOS.
Please advise.

You can use FlashSPI to update the BIOS without a flopppy drive as long as you have a small USB drive. Just download the zipped files on to the pendrive and then unzip them. There will be three files now one of which is called flashspi. You can use this to update your BIOS from one of the other files.

OK - thanks.
When you say "small" flash drive, how small is small?

Ideally 2GB or below but if you have only got a larger one try that.

Get that F2 bios updated. Like Ripjaws said "RESET" button corrupts the CMOS with early bios. Make sure you clear CMOS after the update.

Ripjaws and nijel were correct: after updating the BIOS to F3, it boots normally.
Mamy thanks to everyone who replyed with suggestions.  Oddly, I provided the same informaion to Gigabyte tech support as I did here - they never even mentioned the BIOS issue even though I told them I was running F2 and that the problem began with hitting the reset switch!

Maybe they just aren't as hot as we are on the forum

Best to not use the reset switch if at all possible, it's known to cause many issues 

You should also flash your backup BIOS to match your MAIN BIOS, here's how

Also, F4 BIOS is out now

Glad to hear you got everything sorted.
