Can I use a troubleshooting speaker (The one that beeps POST error codes) if I did not install a driver for it? I never had one of these so I did not set it up in the bios or operating system, and am unable to reach either now, so am hoping it can work on its own. I believe both my main and backup bios are corrupted. This is because the reboot loop started right after changing a bios setting, saving bios settings, and restarting, and because playing around with other components has done nothing.
My GA-B250M-DS3H motherboard continuously reboots, restarting before reaching the bios screen. I have tested each stick of ram in each slot, I have removed the GPU and the hard-drive, but nothing is working. I have removed the CMOS battery and used the BIOS reset pins that are shorted with a flathead screwdriver, more than once. The length of time the fan stays on changes slightly when the bios is reset, but immediately returns to previous malfunction and restarts.
It has dual-bios and I have tried the two typical methods of forcing activation of backup bios. I even tried the more risky version where you place a jumper on pins 1 and 6 of main bios and power on computer. The only thing I can think to do is buy a motherboard with return policy, see if my other components work on that one. Thanks for reading.
