Question Think I have broke my motherboard.

Hi,

I put together my old system to hand over to my son. I bought a new ssd and the other parts are around 3-5 years old.

I got everything put back together perfectly and installed windows 11. I let Windows do its updates and I was feeling pretty good about my self. Things went so well I thought I would update the BIOS from F40 to F67b.

I used q-flash through the bios and everything seemed to work fine. It got to 100% and it said "the system will now restart" It did exactly that but now I am stuck on the Aorus Splash screen and I have a red VGA light on the motherboard.

It just show the logo with the options along the bottom are
Del:bios setup/q-flash
F9:system information
F12: Boot menu
end:Q-flash

I try using the keyboard to select an option but nothing happens. I just cant get passed this screen or into the bios.

Things I have tried....
New HDMI cable
GPU in another pc(works fine)
Tried another 8 pin cable

Does anyone have any ideas or have I just bricked my motherboard?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. Clear the CMOS. In order to do so, you disconnect from the wall and display, then remove the CMOS battery, press and hold down the power button for 30secs and replace the battery after 30mins.
