    Question I tried performing a BIOS update. I messed up horribly? Can I fix my motherboard

    ..when flashing bios, always follow method to the T. Follow directions from manufacture. In your case, you probably flashed wrong bios and your CPU is not being recognized. I would try another CPU that is likely compatible. If it works, then flash the correct bios.

    ..take the bare mobo, lay it on cardboard. Input CPU, 1 ram stick. Connect to PSU source and connect onboard graphic to monitor. If available, if not use add on card. For power button, Jimmy an old one from old PC case. Always works for me.
