My USB 3.0 ports weren't working this morning with my AAHD3-HB. To fix this I ran a BIOS update from HP's site. The model number of my PC is p7-1174. After it was done, the update said I had to press yes to restart my PC. I did and when it came back, the screen was black. After giving it a few, I held the power button. It is still black on start up, no motherboard screen or even recognition that a PC is plugged in to the monitor.
Things I've tried:
-taking battery out for 5 minutes, it starts and flashes the motherboard page that has press f8 to enter setup. Then it says keyboard error and press f1 to boot (how's that possible if the keyboard doesn't work). This also only works the first time I start it up after taking out the battery, then it's black screen again.
-starting with 1 stick of ram, tried in each slot, black screen.
-resetting CMOS according to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02967715&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en gives black screen
Please help, my new PC is currently broken as well so this is my only way of playing games with friends.
