So I tried updating my R552JV's BIOS from 203 to 208 using the BIOS flash utility on the ASUS website as my laptop seemed to be running hot and I stupidly thought a BIOS update might help.

Everything in program appeared to be fine. Flashed the BIOS, and it restarted the machine. Now it won't boot into Windows at all.

I am constantly taken to the BIOS menu and there are no boot option priorities to select. It says that it has updated to 208 in the BIOS information. I have tried restoring the default settings with no luck.

Any advice?
 
Well it's never wise to update a BIOS (or a driver for that matter) unless it's documentation specifically refers to the problem your experiencing.

last time I updated my BIOS (six months ago to cure a documented boot problem), after the update I had an even worse problem, no boot at all! Well I went into BIOS Setup and selected Load Failsafe Defaults (or Load BIOS Defaults on some BIOS screens) and I was up and running again. Hopefully it will work for you too.
