    BIOS rootkits are nasty. Formatting won't fix them. I believe you could try flashing your bios, that if it lets you. Good luck

    +1 for reflashing, quickest fix if it lets you do it. You should be able to flash the same version as well, or mine lets me anyway.

    Don't forget to download the flashing software and bios update using another computer, you won't re infect yourself
