Question Help Please!! PC wont start after Bios

[Duncan_168]

Hi All!
So i was setting up my printer, when windows updated the bios (windows update said urgent system firmware update, and so i downloaded it like an idiot)
After it downloaded, my PC Restarted.
-I got a screen with the boot Logo Mecer under it "installing system update please wait"
After a few moments the pc restarted, but there was no display on monitor just a flashes of black every 3 or so seconds, then no signal and repeat.
The fans are spining, and DVD roms light is blinking. But nothing happens. There is no power to my keyboard (usb and ps2) so i cant press any keys.
I tried the following
-Removing CMOS battery,
-Using Jumper to reset bios
-Removing and changing Ram
-Changing power supply
-Changing Hard Drive
-Changing Monitors

My Specs are:
2x 4gb DDR4 Ram
Intel Core i5 processor
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-H110M-HD2

Any help would be appreciated. Been stuck like this for 2 days and urgently need to get it up and running. Cant afford to take it in

Did you do a system update or bios update?

It was a bios update done through windows

 

[Jacozeelie]

Ouch, try booting your pc with only cpu and one ram stick

 

[Duncan_168]

Tried
No luck. Monitor says no signal.

Do you have a back up mobo? It would seem that the mobo is bricked

I was afraid that it was bricked. Is there no way to undo this?
I dont have a backup

Windows don’t update bios. don’t know what you think you did but that’s not it
Use system restore or reinstall windows

Cant boot, bricked mobo

 

[Jacozeelie]

H110 mobo's arent expensive, if you can find one

Use system restore or reinstall windows

In windows 10, update centre i recieved and updatee called system firmware. Once downloaded pc restarted.
Can not reinstall windows as keyboards are unresponsive(not switching on) and no signal on display

 

[Deleted member 14196]

Yeah I don’t know what you installed the windows doesn’t update to bios. Period. Nor have I ever seen it pass firmware updates. Perhaps you got hacked

Once again windows updates Do not install bios updates. So this didn’t happen. you have installed something else

Gigabyte motherboards usually have dual bios chips and you should be able to recover the BIOS

His has a single bios chip so not in his case.

 

[Deleted member 14196]

Maybe he had software installed in his system from the manufacturer that looks for bios updates? If they break that they’ll probably replace it

 

[Vic 40]

Doubt it since he really says it's windows, kinda doesn't matter since he got banned. Maybe he had third party software, but he could have told us so and in that case he shouldn't have used it in the first place.

 

[Jacozeelie]

Something stinks. Sounds like third party bios software corrupting bios

 

[Deleted member 14196]

His has a single bios chip so not in his case.

he's not banned anymore so maybe we can find out.

 

[Duncan_168]

Hi, firstly sorry for getting banned. Still zero luck.
I connected to the internet by lan to set up my printer. I recived a notification from my update centre. Saying system firmware update. I literally watched it download there and then the pc restarted.

Im really lose for details as to how this happened. Is there zero way to recover or force boot bios.
Thanks for all the help

All i can think of is to strip the whole pc, dust everything, reset bios, reinstall cpu and ram only and try to bring it to life

 

[Duncan_168]

Lemme go try this.
