I have an OEM Acer Veriton M430 that i attempted to flash the BIOS because the display had some issues after a while (sometimes, there would be no output unless i force shut down the PC and restart a few times). So , i finally gave up and decided to update that BIOS, but I made the mistake on running the exe file directly from the PC (after extracting the .rar file), except it didn't ask for a reboot, so I restarted my computer. However as soon as it shut down, the fans hummed - lights were still on, but nothing booted. No Bios screen, no POST beeps, Nada.
I reset my CMOS through the jumpers but that didn't help either. Any advice on how I should approach this? (besides swapping out the motherboard for a new one?)
