Basically I updated my BIOS for my motherboard Gigabyte GA-970A DS3 and now my computer doesn't turn on at all... I mean it turns on I can see the fans moving I can hear the hard drives power up and spin. Just when I wait my monitor gets no input. When I turn on my computer I don't get any POST beeps at all but I can see the light on my Ethernet jack er RJ-45.

Maybe your GPU suddenly broke (that would be THE coincidence of the year)

No I didn't do anything, It was working somewhat good yesterday but the computer would shutdown randomly usually after a game, it never crashed in the middle of the game which was weird or lucky you can decide. The mouse and keyboard would freeze at the windows log in screen and i know my keyboard freezes because I can't change the numlock the light wouldn't change on to off. Sometimes it would freeze after a game. Went from slowly got shorter and shorter the time it was on first time was like 5 hours, second time was like 2 hours third time was 1 hour..  then it became seconds and mouse and keyboard would just freeze. Now I get no POST or boot lights would makes me think its either the Motherboard or CPU that cause this.

Use the backup BIOS?

Press the power button for 10 seconds...

Thing is monitor gets no signal even if I do that. Still no beeps either.

 

Test your graphics card in another system to rule it out...

 

Also try booting with only the CPU attached...

I removed everything only had the cpu and still no POST beeps, I think I need a new Motherboard.

 

If you'll just be getting a new motherboard, get a 990FX if possible...
