BIOS Update Black Screen

[Lt. Skunky Jr]

Please help. I just built a brand new PC, everything was successful down to installing windows and updating drivers, etc. I then decided to update the BIOS on my Aorus X570 Elite MOBO via a USB drive (also windows install media drive) and the UEFI Q-Flash feature. Everything went fine with the install up to 100% and reboot countdown, no power off or touching of anything. System rebooted to nothing but a black computer screen and constantly ramping CPU fan. I tried plugging my HDMI cable into the MOBO instead of GPU but no picture. I also pressed the restart and power button to no effect. Finally I held the power button down and shut off the system.

 

My system specs are on this pcpartpicker list:

Monitor is an HP Pavilion 23bw

 

I have not yet powered the system back on.

 

EDIT: I turned the system back on, nothing seems to have changed.

Try clearing CMOS but the board may be fucked. If it's under warranty, replace it. If not, see if you can replace the BIOS chip (hopefully it's socketed). If it's not under warranty and the BIOS chip is soldered, you'll have to buy a new board.

Man this is a sad story with a sad ending.  Just like my man Kelvin said.  Usually there has to be a reason to flash a BIOS.  You had no reason ???  This is another example and a reason for people to chill out when it comes to flashing their BIOS unless they have no choice.  Not when you had Winblows going and everything rockin and you bricked it my friend... Im sorry

He may have COCD computer obsessive compulsive.. and that sh8T sux..and it told him to flash his BIOS for no reason at all.. OMG I feel bad for the guy but if this can save one soul from making the same mistake,, then it was worth it I guess lol....

Lets all hold hands and make a pack! That we shall only update or install a driver it will be a software based solution.  Any flashing for no reason and you can end up you know where lol!  Let us praise this or chant it out loud and not make the same mistake.  I really feel for the guy..He sounded so happy about his new system and new uncle billys blows10 and what not.... poor guy went a little to far with his great build.........as if something was poking at him to do this.  COCD may play a role here.

Miracles are real, and I am a changed man. After some research and deep breathing, I decided to reformat the USB again, slap the old BIOS on it, and try to do a powered down Q Flash using the button on the MOBO. Pressed the button once, no led blinking or anything, confusion. After waiting a minute or two, I flip the PSU off and on and try again. Nothing.

 

Moving on I decide to try to do it with the system on, so I power up and begin moving around to the back of the PC when something catches my eye. The Aorus logo displayed on my monitor. I make a dash for the Delete key as urine begins trickling down my trousers. Suddenly the screen goes black again, and life is meaningless, but a moment later up comes the splash screen again and I make it to UEFI. Huzzah!

 

Curious, I looked to see if the power off flash worked and I restored the BIOS to the original F3 version. Much to my astonishment it reports that it is running version F5b, the newest one.

 

I have no Effing clue what the Hell happened, and I don't care because everything seems to be running  fine. Miracles happen, maybe I'll start going to church or praying over my Jesus PC every night. Thus, I hereby name this computer Lazarus, and vow never again to insite the demons that lay in wait for the unwary lambs who take a fancy for updating their Motherboards BIOS.

 

Amen.
