Hi. So I updated my BIOS of my Gigabyte Gaming 3 MOBO. I updated it through the app center (Gigabyte's App). Then when I restarted my PC, the screen just stuck at the booting logo. I can't even enter BIOS. I keep pressing F12 to open the Boot Menu but nothing happens. Other keys are not working as well. I also see the light lit up on the MOBO on the VGA.

I tried the following:
- Removing CMOS battery (I did this almost 10 times already)

-Clearing CMOS. (Also done this many times).

-Reseating RAM and GPU. (You guessed it...)


Here is my specs:

Ryzen 7 1700
Gigabyte Gaming 3
G.Skill 16 gb RAM
Zotac 1060 6GB
250 samsung SSD

Please help me. What should I do? I can't even Flash my BIOS 'cause for some reason the keys that suppise to open Q-Flash isn't working. Thanks.

Edit: I forgot to include this but I was able to boot after clearing the cmos. The next day when I boot it this problem occurs. It was my mistake to not undo the update while I can still use the pc. So I don't think that the MOBO is still in good condition.

You have to be able to get into bios to update it. On Ryzen though,
you don't even need a CPU to do that.
Remove your CPU, ram and GPU.
Insert the USB with the bios on it and let her rip.
Which version of the Gigabyte Gaming 3 do you have? What chipset?
All Gigabyte Gaming 3 boards don´t support flashback by USB.

How long did you wait while it was showing the boot logo of Gigabyte?

did you clear the CMOS by jumper?

use a USB 2.0 port for the keyboard

unplug the SSD

only use one RAM in DIMM slot DDR4_1 (most right), eventually in DDR4_2 (second from left)

Yeah I was trying to Enter BIOS but it stuck at the boot logo ones I power up the system. Pressing F12 doesn't work. All buttons doesn't. There's basically nothing I can do. By the way, this is my MOBO.

I already done clearing cmos many times.
I only have 1 stick of RAM
