Computer won't boot after BIOS update

[Alek_P]

 

 

 

Hi everyone

 

I have just built my first PC. I installed the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate), some basic programs and drivers. One of the programs that I installed was Live Update 6 which was part of my motherboard software. After some time i rebooted my PC and Live Update found new updates for my software. One of the updates on the list  was new version of BIOS. At first I wasn't sure if I should update it but as it was suggested by a program from a disc that came with the motherboard I decided to do it. It started updating all the software but after updating the BIOS the computer rebooted and after turning on again there was no signal on the monitor, mouse and keyboard weren't working and CPU debug LED was lit. I tried clearing the CMOS but it had no effect (I kind of expected that but decided to try it anyway). I have no idea what should I do now 

 

CPU: i5-6600k

Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro

OK, unplug the power from the PSU and turn the switch off (if there's one there?) then remove the cell battery from the board and press the power button down for 30 seconds. This will drain all the power from the board and do a reset.

 

If that doesn't work your SOL I'm afraid, its RMA street for your board. Sorry.

 

FTR NEVER EVER EVER EVER UPDATE A BIOS OR UEFI FROM INSIDE WINDOWS AND NEVER ALLOW AN AUTO TOOL TO DO IT FOR YOU!!

By "do a restet" you mean putting the battery in place and turning it on again?
