A sequence of issues has ended up bricking(?) my PC. I assume this a BIOS issue but I am not sure.
I'd be very grateful to anyone who could help me resolve this problem, or even just explain why this has happened if a solution is not available.
Much more information below:
Running Windows 10
Gigabyte AM3+ Motherboard
AMD FX8350
Radeon R7370
Not long after logging in to Windows my pc crashed displaying a gray screen with lighter gray vertical stripes.
I turned off the pc by holding the power button however when restarting the pc it would display a black screen after the windows loading screen.
(I later realised that during this time the motherboard manufacturer screen was not displaying before the windows loading screen).
I managed to get into a safe mode boot which greeted me with a screen like this:
I checked my display and gpu drivers, they were up to date. Also my monitor is fine as I tested it with other devices.
I ran a sfc /scannow command which came up saying there were some issues that it could not restore.
After that result I attempted to boot from a recovery USB, however when attempting to open to BIOS I was greeted with yet another lovely sight:
After this I decided that my BIOS was corrupted and attempted to clear the CMOS.
(I do not have a jumper on hand so I did a combination of removing the battery and using a screwdriver to to connect the pins in all different orders as I couldn't find a definitive method online)
This did not work and has appeared to make the situation worse as now when I power on I am instantly shown the blue and pink screen. However my keyboard and mouse are lighting up and all the fans are spinning on the components.
The only video output I have is through my graphics card. This has me wishfully thinking that maybe the motherboard and BIOS are fine however the gpu is not displaying them correctly and the screen I'm supposed to be seeing is the bios setup screen.
However I am likely wrong.
Please if any knows how I can fix this, the help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
