This is kind of wierd. I updated my bios from 2.1 to 2.4 last week. Everything was fine. Three days after the bios update, I was surfing the web and the machine froze. Now this is the first time that has ever happend with this box before. It is about a year old. I held the power button till power off and rebooted.
The machine powerd on, my auroras turned on, all the fans spin, I see the DVD drives spin up (the seek lights went on and flickered), I can hear the HDs spinning up, my LIS displays the on message and everything looks normal. However, I do not hear a POST beep and there is no picture on my screen. So I tool around: unplug power and wait, I try different outlets, different monitors, plug other boxes into this monitor and I take out the video card and test it in other systems. Video card and monitor are fine.
What is going on? This mobo is obviosly dead, right? I'm actually asking there because I have no idea what else it could be. So I assume its the bios update I applied as nothing else has changed in months with this rig. Though why it worked fine for 3 days and then decided to die is beyond me. So I emailed MSI's support they want me to send the board in. Well this is a non-starter. I bought the board in the US and now live in the Philippines. Not to mention its a year+ old. I don't think they will fix it for free, will they? What do I do, is there anyway to resucitate this mobo? ANything I can try to give it a "jump start"? Thanks!
