Hello everyone
I recently updated my BIOS on my motherboard but I then got issues when booting in to windows, well it was impossible. I believed it was a boot error so I created a windows installation media and tried to recreate the boot sectors. But I was unable to boot in to the windows media, the system just froze while on the windows loading circle.
I therefore concluded that something went wrong with the BIOS update so I flashed the older BIOS that I had before. But it changed nothing (I also restored all settings to default). At this point I was very confused. I tried to boot in to an Ubuntu installation USB just to see if I could, but without any success (got a black screen with one line of text, see attachment).
The only thing I got running was memtest86.
I now think that my motherboard is bricked but I am not sure. Anyone have any ideas?
