After hibernation PC is restoring after keyboard is pressed - why?

[bischoph]

BIOS settings:

Advanced -> ACPI Configuration ->
* PS/2 Keyoboard Power On - Disabled
* USB Keyboard / Remote Power On - Disabled

When i do Windows 8.1 Hibernation my computer is going down, but what im asking is why when i pressed the button (SPACE) it is going up?

Is this BIOS problem/bug or what?


My PC:
* Windows 8.1 x64 version 6.3 (Build 9600)
* AMD FX990FX Killer
* Keyboard Logitech UltraX Premium* BIOS (by AIDA x64 Extreme Beta):
BIOS version P1.00
AGESA version OrochiPIV1.2.9.0

I tried to update my bios from v1.00 -> 1.10, and my PC is dead now.

version 1.10

The way looks like that:
- PC restored form hibernation (maybe that was main problem)
- i launched Windows flash utility under Windows 8.1 x64
- application was working, my screen was blinking from time to time (for 3-4 sec and longer for 10-120 sec about)
- the last blink was very long (about 1- 2min or so)
- after it i see Windows login screen, when i logged in there was no Windows-flash-utlity on it, but my startup application started to launch
- i check under AIDA again, and it said BIOS version is still 1.00
- so i made first decision and rebooted PC insted of trying to re-flash bios
- PC was dead, 2 short beeps
- i tried to reboot it few times (more than 3)
- then i made 2nd bad decision and cleared CMOS (but only for 3-5 sec, not 15 sec like manual is saying to do)
- no changes at all, PC is still dead


My questions are now:

- Is it very bad i cleared CMOS? What are the consequences?
- Has ASRock AMD 990FX Killer some recovery proces to boot up from floppy drive with prepered diskiette with dos-flash-utlity on it? I know for sure some models of motherboard got it - and its working.
update: there is no FDD connection on motherboard, so is it process possible with USB/CD/DVD?
checked: no working USB boot, not working DVD boot.

- Is is possible to try hot-swap: borken bios-memory-chip under working PC with another motherboard, and then on it try to reflash the bios-memory-chip?

and the last short one:

- Why da hell flashing proces failed in my case? It was cuz restored Windows hibernation proces or what?

On the problem with system resuming from hibernation, maybe this is solution for Windows 8.x as well:

?

I check again with little help from behind and:
extract the original version 1 instant flash file from your download page and put on root of formatted (fat-32) usb stick, use usb 2.0 port on the back, then when PC is going up pressing F6 button. Bios recovery system should be launched.

This solution worked for me.
