MSI 760GM-E51 (MS-7596) BIOS update failed?

[jdubbie]

Hi guys,

Recently I tried to update my motherboards BIOS (a MSI 760GM-E51, model no. MS-7596) and when finished, it said the BIOS update had been succesfull and that it would then reboot. However it seems to have failed anyway, seeing that when booting the computer, sure it will turn on, but neither monitor, keyboard or mouse seems to receive any "signals" from the computer i.e monitor acting as if it isnt connected to the computer. This may sound confusing to you guys and im sorry if it does, but I am not an expert in this subject but i cant explain it much better. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe a backup BIOS or smthing? or did i completely destroy my motherboard? Say i fucked up this update of BIOS, how would one go about fixing it?

My reasoning for updating the BIOS, was that I thought it may help against the motherboard overheating all the time (despite fans working 100%).

Cheers and thanks guys

I think the BIOS update maybe fine, you may try boot into the BIOS, reset the boot order, because after BIOS update, the BIOS will be reset to default, you have to reset the BIOS, otherwise it may like your situation.
If it does have the problem, you may try recovery the BIOS, check the link for how to. https://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user/support/TechFAQdetail.aspx?formid=3046

Your mean there is not signal at all, sorry. Try clear the CMOS first by the jumper or remove the battery, wait for 5-10min, then try boot the pc.
If you can get the signal, and try to recovery the BIOS.
If you still don't get the signal, that means the BIOS chip is gone, you have to contact MSI to see they will replace the BIOS chip for you, or they can send the new BIOS chip to you, and you replace it yourself. Or buy the new MB.
