Firstly, I apologize for the quality of my English, my native language is Portuguese.
My computer specs:
Motherboard Gigabyte x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
CPU Ryzen 5 2600x
RAM Kingston HyperX 16 GB (8 + 8)
GPU Gainward NVidia GeForce 1660 Super
PSU EVGA 850 BQ
Kingston SSD 240 GB (system disk) + 2TB hard disk
So, about the problem I've been facing ...
About a month and a half ago I got another 8GB RAM stick and then switched GPU. I decided to update my motherboard BIOS after suffering some system crashes (BSoDs). I was trying to update Bios to the latest version, but it automatically returned to the factory version (F3). so I opted for an intermediate version (F6, neither the oldest nor the newest). The BSoDs stopped, but whenever I turned off the computer I was forced to use my mobo dual Bios switch (power button + reset button pressed together for about 10s) and use the "backup bios". So today, to solve this problem, I tried to upgrade to Bios to F30 version, which requires upgrading the Chipset as described on Gigabyte website. Result: I've been staring at a black screen for almost 8 hours and can't find a solution. No image, no post, nothing. The mobo doesn't have a speaker, so no sound either...
A right status led jumps from CPU to DRAM, all coolers are working, the lights are on, the Aorus' logo too (sometimes not), USB ports working... What can I do?
I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance

What I already tried:
- Removed the battery for 10 minutes
- Use the Clear CMOS Jumper
- Use a flash drive to install a previous bios version with EfiFlash
- Reset RAM and processor by removing them from and inserted again
- Exchange the video card for an old one I had (very old, really really very old). I lent the video card I was using to a friend of mine
- Removed all hardware from the motherboard and left only the processor and RAM on
