PC starts but doesn't boot properly

Qrko

I updated my bios and just when it was done my pc froze and I had to turn it off when I tried to turn it back on it turn on but just idles. It doesn't boot properly and monitor says DVI no signal. I have cleared my CMOS, taken RAM and GPU off and put them back on. I don't think its broken because its just 2 months old.

Your board has turned into a very expensive brick I'm afraid.The power cut during a BIOS flash means it didn't finish flashing the BIOS properly which means your board has no firmware to give it instructions while powering up. Its bricked.

 

I'm afraid you have 2 options, 1) track down and install a BIOS chip from an IDENTICAL motherboard or 2) RMA it and hope the manufacturer is feeling kind because AFAIK failed BIOS flashes are not generally covered under warranties.

RMA is the best option, even if its not covered under arranty (you never know until you try BTW) they'll still offer to fix it for you for a small fee, it should certainly be much cheaper than a new board!

I will first try the part shop that sold me this mobo and then I contact the manufacturer if the shop doesn't cover this. But I just thinking what are the odd of your computer freezen/crashing in a middle of a bios update like FML

Is there a reason why you updated the BIOS? IMO, if there are no issues with a PC, don't update the BIOS.
