Hi guys,
I'm in really big trouble here. I wanted to fix my Windows 7 not recognizing my USB 3.0 slots and I read somewhere that switching from Legacy ROM to EFI Compatible ROM would help fix the problem, so I went into my BIOS and did that. When I restarted, the BIOS screen (Gigabyte) stayed for a good minute (instead of just flashing), and then led me to a console-like cursor flashing, on a black screen.
I've tried everything but I have nowhere to go because it's a BIOS problem (it seems), and not Windows or anything. I can't boot into anything because when the BIOS screen shows, none of the usual options work.
I have absolutely no idea where to go. Anybody have any ideas?
UPDATE: So I've tried resetting the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery, leaving it out, starting the system without it, and whatnot. After it was out for like 20 minutes, I put it back in and tried to start it again. The BIOS screen was there for another minute like usual, but this time, there is no flashing cursor. I have no idea if this is progress or not, but it sure doesn't look good. Anybody have any other ideas? Thanks
