Go to solution Solved by Shiwoon,

Qflash options isn't even working then your only two option is to go to their support (can be found here http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/technical-support.aspx) or buy a new mobo.

Since you've update your bios via their app center... 

Also since they've made it, they should know a lot more than we do.
(this is why you should never update your mobo bios if there's nothing wrong with it... there's an old saying "if it aint broke, don't fix it")

That's the CMOS battery. It NEEDS to be there. Put it back in!

Also, are you trolling? You don't know what a CMOS battery is? @newtopc

Your BIOS relies on the CMOS during startup. Taking out the battery will 100% prevent your system from starting up.

Flash a new BIOS. Look it up if you need to.

If reseating the battery doesn't work, try switching the bios on your motherboard if it has more than one, if not, you'll have to flash a new bios

@newtopc check the battery with a multimeter if it's dead. How old is your motherboard?

Try the clear CMOS button instead. Refer to your MOBO manual. If CMOS clear doesn't work, there should be a physical switch on the MOBO to change the BIOS.

Did you look at your MOBO's manual? What is your MOBO?

Clear CMOS=bottom right of board. It's a jumper, so you need to take a screwdriver or paperclip to jump the contacts.

If you don't know what this guy means, he's saying grab anything that is conductive and touch the two prongs on the bottom right hand side that says "Clear CMOS"

If death has no cost, life has no worth

The dead are gone, the living are hungry

Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.

So you've updated the bios and now it won't boot or go into the bios.

When you turn on the computer, do you hear any beeps?
