Well I am glad to hear that it worked and you are back up and running again.
The F8m is a Beta BIOS and as such is still in the testing phase so it is not surprising that sometimes there are bugs. By all means update your BIOS now but just don't go as far as F8m! Make sure that you use QFlash though and not @BIOS for the flash and clear the DMI data whilst you are running it.
