[SOLVED] Stuck at Motherboard Logo/Boot Screen After Updating BIOS

[DekuLicious]

I installed my new PC yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine as it loaded into Windows 11 and I was able to play games. However, after I updated my BIOS, all went chaotic. Now when I restart the computer, I am stuck at the motherboard logo/boot screen and I can't access the BIOS at all, even when I press the F2 or Del keys.

Things I've tried:

Remove the CMOS and re-inserting it after 5 minutes.
Checked the GPU connectors to make sure they are connected properly.
Checked the RAM to make sure they are inserted properly, and re-inserted them again as well.

PC Specs:

be quiet! Case PURE BASE 500DX
NZXT Kraken Water Cooler X73 RGB
Intel Core i9 11900K
Asus ROG MAXIMUS XIII APEX
G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB
Corsair 750W

What graphics card?

Reset BIOS settings with onboard jumper.
Remove graphics card and leave only single ram module.
Disconnect all hdds/ssds.

You mean that little piece that I put on the opposite pins right? if so for how long and do I need to put it back at where it was right after?
Will try to remove the GPU (RTX 3080) and leave a single RAM module, thanks.
I will remove the HDD/SSD as well.

Will give it a shot while I'm home, thanks a lot.

Read motherboard manual, to find onboard CLEAR_CMOS jumper.
Do not start pulling random pieces from random pins. There might be multiple of those.

Gotcha, thank you.

No luck at all.

Finally managed to get it working, tried again to remove and GPU and leave only 1 RAM module, then I simply changed the jumper to the other pins and waited for a minutes then placed it back to its original pins, restarted the PC and it worked.

Hopefully someone with the same issue can use this trick.
