Gigabyte UEFI Dualbios loop

[Vetrocic]

Hello, I recently got some updates for Windows 7 on my PC and after restarting it, it did the UEFI Dualbios loop startup. Yes, yes, I know there's a ton of posts here already that are solved, I've seen quite a bit of them. However none of the methods have ever worked for me. I tried the 10 second power and reset button, I turned off the main power source then held the power button then turned the main power source back on then turned it off and turned it all back on again, I've reset the CMOS and I've tried shorting the 1st and 6th pin (although I don't know if I did any of it right).

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
CPU - AMD Anthlon X4 880K 4.0ghz quad-core processor
Memory - 2x Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8gb DDR3-1866
Storage - Western Digital Caviar Blue 320gb 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply - EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

I've spent a lot of money on this computer and I'm not going to give on it. Please someone help, it's really annoying. I've had enough of it and it would be great if I can get it to work again. Thanks

Remove the boot device, the 320GB HDD, and clear the CMOS again, make sure unplug the power core from the wall outlet. Then boot the PC without the HDD only, what happens?
1) The PC can boot, but you get no boot device error, that means the HDD or OS has problem. Try other HDD to reinstall the win7.
2) The PC can't boot without the boot device, then remove the RAM too, clear the CMOS. Boot the PC without boot device and RAM, what happens? If the PC can boot, and you get no RAM, no boot device, that means the RAM has problem.
3) Try boot the PC with one stick RAM + the HDD to see which RAM has problem.
4) If the PC can't boot without boot device and RAM, that means either the CPU or MB has problem.

Booting without the HDD did not change anything, the same boot loop.
However, powering on with no RAM leaves the monitor with a blank screen. Nothing happens.
Powering up with 1 stick of RAM (4 trials, tried with and without the HDD, tried with 1 stick of RAM in the left and the right slot) still led to the same Dualbios loop

Also I should add that this problem only occured after I had installed an update, it had asked me to restart my PC, and it when it did it led to the Dualbios loop. I do not remember the update.

If you have other HDD, try reinstall the win7. Or try the win7 startup repair to fix the boot loop problem. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/139576-startup-repair-infinite-loop-recovery.html

Also make sure the HDD is connected into the 1st SATA port. Check the motherboard manual for detail.

I do not have another HDD at this moment. But if I did how would I get to reinstall Windows on it? I can't get past the boot sequence so I can't do anything button wise.

All right, try one more time, remove the HDD and all the RAM, clear the CMOS. After that boot the PC without HDD/RAM, can you boot the PC or not?
If you can't boot, either the cpu or MB has problem. And you are better to go to the local PC ask for help.

Did exactly what you said, no boot, just a blank screen. I'll take it to some place that can fix it or something, thanks for your help.

I'll try to post something here if I can get my PC to work again.
