Hey guys, it's me again ... I asked about that in this post and flashing the BIOS worked ...
However, the guy I built this PC for told me it's weird that the HDMI is not working and he only has a blank screen ... when I arrived, I checked the Motherboard and it was stuck again on the VGA led light ... I asked him what did he do with the PC and he told me:
a) I spilled a little beer over the front part of the case (the power button got stuck/glued by the beer ... so he had to clean it up)
b) he doesn't turn off the PC via the operating system process but just by pressing and holding the power button for a couple of seconds (which I think is a big no-no and could have caused this issues)
So I took it back home with me, saying I will give it a look .. I thought that re-flashing the BIOS might work .. so I downloaded from the GIGABYTE's official support page the latest BIOS for v1.3 (double checked it's the right one) F12 .. (tho I tried F8 and F9 too) plugged it in the right USB slot, pushed the QFLASH_PLUS button .. waited a bit .. the usual happened (PC restarted one or two times) but then it got stuck again on the VGA 🙁 (for all BIOS versions mentioned above) ...
I also noticed that when the PC starts, it runs for about 20s (yet still stuck on the VGA) then all the fans stop for a bit only to start again and then it just keeps running but will not pass the VGA to BOOT ... (stuck on VGA)
I also tried pulling out the CMOS battery for several minutes while leaving the PC unplugged ... but that didn't bring any success either ... I tried running the PC with and without the graphics card after the flashing .. still stuck on the VGA led light
Any idea what to do? I am kinda lost with ideas
Here is the recording of what it does after it being turned on
For reference:
