Computer froze during bios update now whenever I turn it on, it doesn't even give a signal to the monitor.
Tried putting the bios on a usb drive and loading it up but the monitor never gets a signal I don't know what to do now can someone help or give some advice?

what the system spec??? motherboard and cpu?? if it a newer asus mb some of them have usb flashback ports. on bad flash try taking power off the mb and clearing the cmos and put the usb stick in a usb 2.0 port and power up the pc. it might take the mb 10 min to try and read the usb stick. on asus mb you have to rename the bios file.

you used the windows bios updater right??? those things hang all the time and cause people to brick there mb. (call msi get them to send you a new bios chip. if the mb under 30 days return it. ) if the system on power up does not search for cd-rom drives or does anything it bricked. if the mb has dr debug led are they moving??

I didn't use the windows I used the Bios update that was in the bios itself it sat there for about a hour then it shut off and that was it.
System on powerup I have no idea what it does cause it doesn't send a signal to my tv.
There are led lights but they are CPU_Phase LED's and they are in 4 phase power mode. Whatever that means.

That's why you don't buy msi boards!!! Only graphics lol I've had very bad experience / unsatisfied with msi boards they're not as high quality as other boards such as asrock asus and gigabyte try rma if its still under warranty if not get a new one that's not msi.
