So i got this motherboard in a package, seller said it doesn't work so he didn't really care too much. So i come home and check it out, i see 2 pins were bent in the bottom and i straight them out as much as possible. I then proceed to put together everything and start it up. First it spins up, 10s later shuts down, restarts, does the same thing and the 3rd time the speaker beeps, it shows the words ''gigabyte uefi bios'' on the top, the screen is blue-ish and after a few seconds it shuts down again and the whole process repeats itself.

 

It feels like it's trying to access the 1st bios, but it's corrupt so it tries to switch to the 2nd one, which sorta works but then for some reason fails.

 

Anyone know if there's something else i could try? I can't flash it sine i can't access anything :(

That sounds normal bad BIOS settings to me. Intel boards try the settings there are for three times, then it reverts to factory defaults. It shutting down right after sounds like a separate issue to me.

I tried Clearing the CMOS, but didn't work, letting the battery out aswell for 15min, nothing (ik it's more or less the same thing), so i'm out of ideas.

 

board is this one:

It's nothing special, but if it can be fixed it's still ok for future use. But it doesn't sound like it's fixable.
