To be fair it was Asus's own software that broke it, when I was trying to fix a problem caused by their other software not working properly

Tried that, just couldn't get it to work.

Maybe. With the cost of sending the thing back to them and the time it'll all take to sort out I'm not going to give them the chance.

It does say in the manual IDE so maybe if a Sata optical drive is being used ? |
No, IDE. Followed the instructions in the manual to the letter

Thier version of crash free (3) is to back-up the bios to a USB data stick.. As I do have the same board if the OP wants to send me a small USB data stick (got non here as I've not needed one for a long long time) I can do a backup and send it back to them..
Other than that an IDE CDROM should work as there's no way that the hardwire bootblock can become corrupt |
Thanks for the offer Kymmy but I've already tried the USB and CD options. Don't want to waste your time as well as mine.
I've decided to get a replacement mobo that isn't an Asus.
