I made a big mistake I have a B450 Aorus M motherboard and 1600AF CPU, last night I got my new 5700X3D CPU and I just changed it without updating the bios, then I realized it wasn't working and I had to change it again for my 1600AF, but I tried updating the bios without the CPU Fan because I thought it would be fast enough and wouldn't get hot enough to shut down the PC. So when this was 90% the PC turned off and I'm sure this corrupted my BIOS, I tried to clear CMOS and then I was able to enter the bios again, I'm not sure if this was BIOS Backup or Main BIOS, but I managed to update from version F50 to F65c, this time I had placed the CPU Fan just on top so as not to turn off the PC, and then that was completed. After this update I can no longer start the boot, the red lights on the CPU > DRAM motherboard keep alternating and after a certain time the VGA light comes on, I've already made several attempts to clear CMOS, I've already tried making a jumper on pin 1 > 6 in the bios and nothing happens, please help me I should never have done this, but I was tired and so I messed up

if the board manual doesn't describe what the flashing warning lights signifies,
contact Gigabyte support.

if the board is still under warranty and if they can clarify that it is a BIOS update problem that cannot be fixed they may offer a replacement, or repair.
I no longer have the warranty, I've tried many options and nothing works so I'm starting to think that this can only be solved by rewriting the bios
