My BIOS was outdated so I figured Id update to the last version. I opened the Gigabyte BIOS update app, selected the newest BIOS and flashed, the program asked me to reboot, so I did. Mid rebooting it showed this.
It then rebooted by itself and the bootlooping ocurred, PC would just try to boot, fans would spin up just fine, light would shine for a while, only to shutdown and turn itself back on again and repeat the process. I left the PC trying to boot and went to google for possible troubleshooting steps. After like 10 failed boots, the PC booted just fine, so I figured it was fixed.
Flash forward to today, I unplugged the GPU to wipe some dust off of it, plugged it in again and am now bootlooping like crazy, I left the PC trying to boot for the last hour to no avail.
My guess is the BIOS flash messed up and now my BIOS is either completely borked or at least partially incomplete.

- Tried unplugging everything but 24-pin, CPU power and displayPort, yet I keep bootlooping.
- Tried clearing CMOS by both touching the CMOS jumper with a screwdriver as instructed in the manual as well as removing the Motherboard battery for 15min.
- Tried changing RAM slots and booting with both sticks individually.
- Tried booting off of Integrated graphics.
- Tried searching for 01 on motherboard error code as thats what it displays prior to rebooting, found nothing on it, it isnt even mentioned on the manual.
