Updated bios, lost picture.

[Siellerian]

So long story short I was updating the bios on my mother board. Walk away to grab a soda, and by the time I get back with my delicous beverage the screens as black as my soul, and my fans are ramping up every few seconds, which I assume is the system constantly rebooting

 

As far as troubleshooting goes I've tried turning it off and back on, leaving it off and unplugged for a little over 20 minutes, moving the ram, using only one stick of ram, multiple gpus, took out the cmos, and wept many manly tears. The only things I haven't taken out or tried changing are the cpu and the mother board.

 

Specs are

Motherboard: MSI 970-G43

RAM: x2 Corsair Vengence 8gb 

Gpu: msi r9 285

Cpu: amd fx 8320 8 core

Sounds quite bad.

 

Did you check compatibility before flashing? Where did you download the BIOS? What software?

 

It could mean you're motherboard is dead.

Why did you update your BIOS? That's likely what is causing the problems. A BIOS that did not update properly.

I used MSI live update, everything seemed correct, the auto update found everything and began updating, (it was the only thing i was running at the time.) update was because I just reinstalled windows and figured might aswell update the board aswell.

 

I figure windows crashed while i was about halfway between PC and Mountain dew. Leaving the update about half finished.

Regardless, the BIOS update didn't apply properly.

If you can't get it running again, contact MSI and tell them your story.
