Dears,

before i have posted this i went through the sticky posts and ensured to do the check lists. what happen is that i was trying to update my BIOS so i went to the official Asrock website and downloaded the windows installer, so i opened the file to install and a black window showed up then it told me that i cannot install the update and i have to install it using instant flash, then i downloaded the instant flash zip file then restarted my PC to go to BIOS and then the issue started!! after restart there is no video output at all :??:

What did i do to test ?
- i made sure all cables connected correctly.
- i removed one ram out of two, then switched the ram with the other to make sure it is not the ram.
- i removed the cmos battery.
- i reset the cmos pin (1,2 > 2,3).
- i removed the GPU and attached the HDMI directly to the board.
- i tried VGA cable.
- i removed all the USB connected to the pc.
- i removed all SATA attached to the MOBO.
- i tried different Monitor


and sadly non of this worked.

PC SPECS:
ASROCK Z87 EXTREME3 -LGA1150 Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 Quad CrossFireX Quad SLI SATA3 USB3.0 ATX Motherboard

i have not across this type of issue before, however your solution sound to be reasonable and because of my lack in knowledge i am not sure how do i locate the BIOS chip on my Motherboard.
