Hi there, 

 

I've recently run into a problem and I'm unsure how to fix it - this involves my first BIOS. I had just built this PC a few days ago and just ran into this issue yesterday. I installed Windows, no other programs besides Windows updates, & that is it. By this time, the PC was problem-free. I shut it off after it was done, and then ran into the problem that my PC wouldn't start the next day- it had power, however. I was confused, and couldn't figure out how to get my PC to start; I noticed I had a dual BIOS switch, flipped it, and it started and booted absolutely no problem in the second BIOS with no issue whatsoever. When the switch is on the first BIOS and the computer is off, it refuses to start up, though. I only have indication that the PC has power due to the motherboard power LEDs. God forbid something happens in the future, I'd like to have both my BIOS functional. How can I fix this? I knew to turn here because I know there are quite a number of individuals that may be capable of helping with an issue like this one. To note, I have already tried re-flashing the first BIOS after booting with second BIOS whilst flipping the switch within M-Flash. I also tried using the flash button with a USB drive in the flash slot while on first BIOS. Neither worked. The second BIOS remains functional unlike the first. Lastly, I have tried all CMOS tricks and it has done nothing for the first BIOS. I'm convinced that BIOS_1 is bricked, but maybe it isn't?

 

 

ANY input is HIGHLY appreciated,

Thanks.
