I just built a new system and wanted to update the bios. I've done this many times, and had none failed, until now, sorta. Once I updated the bios. The system rebooted and I ran the bios setup again. Until I realised that everything was blurry, pixelated. I attempted to boot into my OSs, but no success. Nor Linux, or Windows would boot. I could still get to the grub, but when I select the boot option, that's it. Black screen. It took me 2 days to troubleshoot it. I tried the HDMI port, the PC boots just fine. Everything was normal, no pixelated bios. Boots straight into the OSs. The DVI cable I used is still fine. Also my monitor. So, I came to a conclusion that my DVI port on my graphics card shorted out by a bios update!
The reason why I used DVI is because my monitor only has VGA and a DVI port. After I troubleshooted my PC. I was initially going to buy a converter, but I saw a DVI to HDMI cable from Ugreen for 10 AUD. So my question is, how did a freaking BIOS update almost killed my graphics card?!!
My full PC specs :
Intel Core i5-9400F
ASUS ROG STRIX B365-G
2x Kingston HyperX 8GB 2666MHz
Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! Extreme
Thermaltake Smart M 650W Bronze
Stock Intel cooler (for now)
