I Think infinally killed a bios for the first time today and im not sure hownto fix it.

POwer it on, takes lime 30 seconds, mouse lights up, monitor acts like it had a signal but nithing happens.

Ive tried methods to go into backup bios but nothing changes.

Almost seems like its stuck in a loop.
 
Sounds killed to me. I had to RMA my last board that did that (MSI).
 
gigabyte amd 3xx/4xx series boards suffered from a bug where sometimes the system would get stuck in a state that appeared to be dead, but if you left it off/unplugged for long enough it would boot just fine.

But, it sounds like what you are experiencing is a boot failure caused by the memory, or else setting the cpu clock too high. If it is the memory, you could try removing one stick and see if it boots. or, you can turn the system off and on, maybe 1 second at a time, 10 or more times in a row. Sometimes this is enough to trigger a safe boot to bios defaults.
 
How long is it sitting there? I think the memory training takes a while on those older boards.

Click to expand...

there is only 1 stick of memory.

everything lights up eventually like it should, like the mouse, keyboard and even the monitor light turns blue like something is happening but there is nothing on the screen.

the board is a dual bios as well but everything that says how to get into the backup bios doesn't seem to do anything either.
 
i think shes dead. I've tried everything. Even trying to get into the backup bios through every means possible doesn't do anything.
 
Silly question I guess but have you done a plugs-out, battery-out CMOS reset? and is the CMOS battery OK?
