Computer unresponsive. Did I brick my motherboard?

menace85 · Jul 17, 2013

This morning I tried resetting my cmos back to default settings. I took out the battery and and left it for a little over 1 minute. When I put the battery back in and tried turning it back on. The computer booted up but it would not activate anything (monitor, keyboard lights, mouse, ect). When I tried turning it back off the button was unresponsive. The only way I am able to turn off my computer is if I turn off the power supply.

Does this sound like a bricked motherboard? If so, what would I need to do to fix it? Or would I just need a replacement.

My motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3.

My computers specs are:
32gb of ram
AMD Radeon HD 7970
AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz

Check that the writing on the battery is facing up. Check that the CMOS battery clip not broken. Check that you have the clear CMOS jumpers on the right pins. May want to try clear the CMOS that way. No post try boning the pc...one dimm and just the gpu. If the mb has onboard video see if that the main output now.

I found out what the problem was. It turns out that my reset button had somehow gotten stuck which was keeping the computer from booting anything.

That being said, my motherboard is now taking longer to boot up than it used to. It takes about 8-10 seconds from me hitting the power button for anything to respond.

check your cmos jumper on the right pins. with the power off clear the cmos...then set it back to sata achi mode and right ram speed. also check for bios updates.
