  1. im literally losing my mind here my home-built PC wont boot after a firmware update.

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device
    or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
    
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    

    the update was going fine until the screen stayed black... i waited a long time before touching anything, then finally turned it off, now it powers on but shows nothing, i've read about BIOS recovery features but i don't know whether my machine has them.. 🙏 help me figure out my options before i start pricing new motherboards.

    the real fix was the friends we made along the way

  4. lol same thing happened to me many desktop motherboards have BIOS Flashback/Q-Flash Plus or a dual BIOS. these let you flash from a USB stick without a CPU or a working BIOS. check the motherboard manual for the exact file name and port. lmk how it goes

    lol same thing happened to me first, wait. some firmware updates continue after a reboot with a black srceen and fans at full speed :D leave it on, plugged in, for at least 15 to 20 minutes before concluding it failed. hope that helps :)
