This isn't part of the problem, but part of why I am so sad. I just installed my new SSD, was just enjoying the speed of my OS, and I thought, hey, just updated my hard drive, why not update my BIOS.
So I downloaded the WinFlash utility, and the latest BIOS file from Asus, and it successfully installed! Hoorah! It shut down the computer, for the last time... I turn it on, lights up, fans on, black screen.
I have tried unplugging everything and holding down power button, than another time the CMOS reset button, and yet another time took out the hard drives and tried turning it on, nothing. Also, I called ASUS support, and they said that before starting the computer, try holding ESC one of the times, then F2 another of the times, to no prevail.
I think what I need to do is get a flash BIOS tool, and somehow get it working, but the tutorials I have found on ASUS and other forums tell me to get this 93vBiosa.rar file from mediafire, but the download is SO slow, and then eventually gets cancelled from and "unknown network error".
I do computer repair for my town, but all my expertise is when the computer actually shows a screen, I am so lost, and very frustrated, and sad. Help would be extremely appreciated, or I have to send it in to Asus for an estimated cost of 140$, or to a local computer repair place.
Thank you!
