So you have issue with your flash memory and ASA is unable to pick the image from flash.
It goes into a booting loop but never boots up.

You can now boot using a TFTP server.

IP address that you want to assign to ASA:

ADDRESS=10.197.222.100


IP Address of TFTP Server:
SERVER=10.197.161.160

Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY=10.197.222.1

Image path or name:
IMAGE=asa961-smp-k8.bin

On which port do you want to assign IP address on ASA:
PORT=Gi0/0

Enter this command to start download process: tftpdnld
==============

All the commands at once:


ADDRESS=10.197.222.100
!
SERVER=10.197.161.160
!
GATEWAY=10.197.222.1
!
IMAGE=asa961-smp-k8.bin
!
PORT=Gi0/0
!
set

tftpdnld
