Question Can’t restart after video driver upgrade

[slatchley1]

Upgraded driver for nvidia r9 200 series. On restart no restart. Took out battery to reset bios and now get cmos time date not set. Don’t think I have any keyboard support. Win 7 64. Can’t get into bios. No keys pressed will get me off the cmos not set screen

So there would be no drive at all? No C drive? Tried that and nothinga t all

 

[slatchley1]

I think I don’t have keyboard support so I can’t get any where

I take it back. I still have the cmos time/date not set screen press f11 etc but can’t get any keyboard response

try different usb port? different keyboard?

 

[slatchley1]

Tried all of the USB ports. Started with 2.0 as that has worked in the past. I’ll try another keyboard

 

[slatchley1]

Nope. Nothing more

Can I just replace the MOBO with something newer and use the rest of my current components?
