bricked bios

1 day ago i tried to flash my mobo bois i have a msi 760gm-p23 fx motherboard the number on the mobo is ms7641 v3.

While i was updating the bios i saw all kinds of funky artifacts left my pc on over night in the morning nothing happend still frozen screen so i turned my pc off.

When i wanted to turn my pc back on it didnt do shit just spinning fans and a black screen. I realised that i bricked the board so pulled out cmos battery unplugged pcie gpu (the mobo has onboard gpu) hdd and my wifi pci card.

After 12 hours put battery back in still only spinning fans.

Then i read something about a blind flash so i created a ms-dos bootable usb stick and downloaded a new new fresh bios onto the usb stick i put the usb stick in the pc and turned it on but still only spinning fans :(

I tought maybe the onboard doesnt work so i will do all the steps like i am blind.

That didnt do the trick. (btw my num lock didnt respond either so i had not much hope)

Does any of you guys know what i did wrong or what i can do. Rma shippings arent wirht it i think. Becouse i am going to buy a new mobo in about a month.

I was looking at pics of the board,to me it looks like it has only one bios chip, is that correct? or is there another bios chip on the board?

Going in blind is a very hard thing to do, I wish I had some advice to fix it for you bro :( but I really think your board is permanently bricked, have you tried reinstalling your dedicated GPU again?

Yeah I can't see the missing piece either bro :( can you circle the missing piece in the pic,if you are missing something on the GPU, that would be why you got artifacts when flashing. More then likely you probably did brick you board but looking at all aspics of it you might have a chance that it is the GPU it self.

Well i found the piece laying on the pcie 16x slot thats why i think it is missing

That piece is the clip that secures it to the motherboard i think so I don't think this will affect your gpu.
