Hi, on last days when I turned on my computer, I got a message "BIOS is upgrading, don't shutdown" (I haven't started any BIOS upgrade), the message stays forever and never finishes.
Then I was rebooting the computer again after a few minutes when I see this message and it was working everything as usual. it happened for a couple days, then I tried to removed the battery/update firmwares and it haven't solved the issue. I also started to get sometimes Boot red led too, for a short time before booting.
Today I got a CPU red led for a few minutes, I thought there was a CPU issue, then I removed all the components and put it all together again, and I got the CPU red led light again. But, as same as the previous errors, it worked after keeping the computer on for a few minutes.
So, I believe it's not a CPU issue, but maybe some component on the (6 years) motherboard is dying and only works when it's "warm", 1. does it makes sense or anything else can be done? 2. Will my mobo not turn on anymore soon?
3. Some recommendations if it worths replace it with a cheaper LGA 1050 mobo like H81? (I don't really feel I need a faster computer now while everything is high priced today, the only feature I see useful comparing to the cheaper mobos is the 1866mhz RAM vs 1600mhz RAM, since I have 2x HYPERX 1866MHZ, I believe it would run at 1600mhz on a H81) .
