Question GA-Z87X-DH3 - Will Not Post - Cannot Reach BIOS

[Philip83]

Hey all,

After removing my graphics card and changing my BIOS to boot from internal graphics I started having problems with my GA-Z87X-DH3. Suddenly I couldn't reach the BIOS anymore, although Windows would boot. Then I tried unplugging all my internal drives and see if that would help me get into BIOS, but it didn't and now I just have a blinking minus in the top left corner when I power on, even when I re-plug in the windows boot drive.

I've tried:

• Unplugging all peripherals and PCI cards.
• Resetting the CMOS
• Activating the backup BIOS
• Removing the RB BAT and reinserting it after 10min
• Disconnect and reconnect all power supply cables
• Unplug and replug in the RAM sticks, and post with only one RAM stick (I have 2x8GB, and tried both)

Nothing has worked. Does anyone know anything else I can try?

Thanks!

Have you had the windows boot drive in every time you've tried to start your pc? Take it out and it should boot.
