BIOS image for the ASUS Q170M-C desktop motherboard, with the name pointing to a 16 MB SPI flash and firmware version 1802. The Q170 chipset places this board in the Intel business-desktop range for Skylake and Kaby Lake processors. A 16 MB dump like this is used to recover a board stuck in a boot loop or with no POST, programmed directly onto the flash chip. Confirm the chip on the board is 16 MB, keep a backup of the original, and expect MAC and serial data may need restoring.
