First, yes, you can try reading the chips with the board power connected (but not powered on).
But wait, you have socketed BIOS so this is not the way to do it. The first image is the BIOS, and only that image/chip is a BIOS.
You need to extract that chip and insert into programmer, pin one on the chip is on the "divot" side, so make sure that goes into programmer properly. Normally you need a U-Type flat IC puller, like this, to extract those chips - https://www.ebay.com/itm/123167465408
However, you can carefully extract with something flat and hard, plastic like a ink pen cap, or small screwdriver with plastic on the tip (any thin rubber/plastic you can hold there). The chip is made of ceramic, so you have to be careful not to crack it, or scratch it too badly. Also, the BIOS legs are VERY Fragile, easily bend, so be extremely careful as you near getting it out or you'll pop it sideways and bend the legs all crazy
Take something, and wiggle one side up little, then other, then back, etc back and forth tiny bit at a time until you can get it out. As you move it up more and more, be more and more careful with the wiggling and switching sides, once it's almost out or halfway the leg bending becomes more and more possible. Once it's halfway out, you can slide a ribbon, or wire under it, anything thin and small enough width to fit under there and pull up from both sides at once and it'll pop up. Use even pressure and pull straight up.
Then when you go to put it in your programmer, only push it halfway down, so it's easier to get out once you are done. In the guide I linked above, you connect your chip in the same way and same location as the guide is showing for the cable, only you use chip instead. Once you plug chip in, and connect to USB, feel the chip, if it gets super hot in an instant (second or two this will happen), pull it out and put it in other way (it's backwards )
Back on the original post you made, do you have the other board to confirm your memory works on it? If not, how are you assuming it's BIOS, or that board works with your memory? Did you install x64 OS yet?
