Question BIOS / Computer doesn't boot after BIOS update

[mekki]

Hello, I have a problem with my PC a friend recommanded this forum so I'll explain you everything. Thank you in advance for your time !

Motherboard : Asus PRIME X370-A
CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (3.2 GHz)
GPU : Asus Radeon RX 570 ROG STRIX OC, 4 Go
RAM 1 & 3 : DDR4 Ballistix Sport LT, Red, 2 x 4 Go, 2400 MHz, CAS 16
Ram 2 & 4 : DDR4 T-FORCE Vulcan Z, Red, 8 Go (2 x 4 Go), 2666 MHz, CAS 18

My friend gave me his old AMD Ryzen 5 3600 so a huge improvement over my old R5 1600. But to use it I needed to update my BIOS, I went to Asus website and downloaded the version compatible with the 3600 and the download gave me the version "6042" https://www.asus.com/supportonly/PRIME X370-A/HelpDesk_CPU/

I did the update in my BIOS with the .cap file on my FAT32 USB and it was a succes ! "Update succesfully ! The system will now reset" and then... nothing.
I waited 1h and still nothing, so I tried to reset the CMOS but nothing, same when I changed the CPU with the new one.

What can I do ? The computer start, there are the lights, the fans etc but that's it, nothing on my monitor.

Thank you in advance, I don't what I can do after all of this.

Version 4406 specifies a chipset update before updating to it or further. I would assume you went from whatever it shipped with direct to the 6042 update?

Yes exactly

In your situation it is likely best to contact support for your motherboard manufacturer and see if there is anything to be done. Or consider a new mobo. I am not sure there is a way to come back from this.

Okay thank you very much ! At least I know I can't do anything else for now. I'll contact Asus and in last resort I'll buy a new mobo.
