Intel Motherboard BIOS recovery

[Satfoun]

Hello everyone,
I have an old desktop that i decided to upgrade so it could be put into good use.
I checked the specs and so on.
i5 and 4Gb ram 1TB hdd Windows 10
Then i decided to get an ASUS R7 240
When i plugged it in, no display was showing
So i assumed it must be the Motherboard. The motherboard is Intel desktop board DH61WW
The psu is a ccivo 500w (24A for the 12V rail)
Therefore i started updating the BIOS from 0016 to 0048 as it is showing in this link
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23393/BIOS-Update-BEH6110H-86A
However i faced a problem something related to the Intel ME needs to be updated from 7.x to 8.x
After researching it turned out alot of people were impatient and they updated the BIOS to 0099 and then the pc would not boot, afterwards they flashed the 109 and everything was fine.
So i did the same, updated to 0099, and now my pc would not display at all.
The problem is, to access the BIOS recovery, i need to remove the Jumper which is in 1-2 position (normal position) to access the recovery.
When i remove it, still nothing shows up on the display, and i cannot flash the 109 now
I need to fix it, could it be my monitor?! (Viewsonic VX-2270SMH)
i followed the steps from this forum also

Flashing BIOS was way easier on my ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO, but this intel board with the jumper and so on, i dont know what to do
Would Appreciate your help
Merry Christmas

Do you need to put the jumper back on the 2-3 pins momentarily to clear the CMOS also? You should be able to remove the CMOS battery for about 5 minutes to clear the CMOS.

Its not about resetting the cmos
I want to enter the Recovery BIOS mode so i would flash the 0109 BIOS which is supposed to fix things
Would a Bad CMOS battery prevent me from entering the recovery?!
I used to get the CMOS checksum error

Might. You can check and make sure it has 3v.

 

[Satfoun]

Might. You can check and make sure it has 3.3v.

Its a... Mitsubishi Lithium 3V
Thats what written on it

 

[BadActor]

If you can test it, it should at or nearly at that voltage. Most I've ever seen use a CR 2025 or 2032 at 3v.

 

[BadActor]

I guess you saw this on Intel's website for recovering the Bios?

Yh its a CR2032e
Hwever could this be thecause of not going into the recovery mode of the Bios?!

 

[BadActor]

It's possible.

 

[BadActor]

And it is 3.0v, not 3.3.

 

[Satfoun]

It's possible.

Im gonna buy a new battery, and keep u updated

 

[Satfoun]

It's possible.

Well i got the new battery, i put it
Boot the pc...nothig shows up. No POST boot nothing
Remove the Jumper, still nothing shows or happens
The fans are spinnig amd so on but no display.
What could be the problem?!

 

[BadActor]

Can you switch back to onboard graphics?

 

[Satfoun]

i am connecting the motherboard using a blue DVI cable
The ASUS R9 240 didnt work in first place ,and this is why i decided to update the BIOS
Could it be a bad motherboard? or am i doing something wrong?\
as no display of POST boot or anything

 

[BadActor]

If i had to guess at this point, I would say the Bios was corrupted. Probably easier to just replace the motherboard if you can't recover it.

 

[Satfoun]

The one ive installed?!
Well i really dont knw
But yh maybe its better to replace the motherboard at this point
