I never did this before so any help would be great ty

Well actually, I don't think you will be able to unless you have an extra CPU.

If the BIOS has a flashing utility built in, you may be able to load the new BIOS onto a bootable floppy/flash drive and flash the mobo with that. I know my motherboard has it, but I am not sure if EVGA has it.

Well you need to format the disk first for it to be bootable. I am not sure about the rest as I have never experienced this problem before.

You could just try the CPU in the motherboard - maybe it will work? You never know. Try it without the cpu if you want to... I have never done this stuff before so I cannot help that much more... Sorry.
