Question No bios showing (black screen with solid underscore)

[StoneyU]

Hello!
Just today my computer at first started with no issues at all. Untill i started a game and it just would’nt start up, and discords window not able to pop up, but the app was still running in the backround (i could still hear my friends talking in discord from entering the server before the crash). So i decided i could just reboot the PC to fix it, it usually works, right?.
Apparantly no. When i tried to start the system again, only thing showing up on the screen was THE black screen with a solid underscore in the top left corner and no reaction when trying to reach the bios.
The system just isn’t booting.
Should i mention that windows is on the same SSD that just 2-3 weeks earlier could’nt find the games downloaded on it? Ssd broken?

Sounds like a trojan, whats your mobo and ssd hopfully we can find a solution. Have you tried clearing cmos to start? If so have you tried pulling ram individually? Seeing if one of them is dead? It's annoying some mobo's have funky post errors for dead ram with no mobo speaker. If it's a trojan I'm sorry your basically sc* if it got this far that it's controlling the bios. It's actually plosable it is imbeded in the gpu and bio's chip and yeah... You will need a new system.

My mobo is a asus z97, The ssd is a sandisk ultra plus 248 gb. No i haven’t tried the cmos and i havent tried with the ram.

I’ll check the ram and cmos then report back to you!

Edit:
The cmos reset worked!
