Hello. I'm currently new to this so if this is in the wrong area I appogize.
But yesterday I decided I would update my bios on my PC since the last time it was updated was in 2012. I did so first by using and exe from asrock's website (bad idea I know). At first this was successful and I was already seeing improved gaming performance. However after about 10 minutes of the pc being on it would freeze so I'd have to reboot. Then I decided I'd try to update my bios with a usb using instant flash. But I never made the usb a proper UFIE bootable device. But the bios still said it successfully updated. Now my PC says my western digital HDD with windows is not a bootable device anymore. Staying there is no usable operating system. I know the problem isn't the boot options because I've already tried doing so.
So this is where I ask if I could just install a new version of windows and this will be fixed. Or will I have to flash bios again with the proper usb files?
If I'm totally wrong please correct me and enlighten me with the proper details. I want to fix this as soon as possible. Any helps is greatly appreciated.
Quick PC specs :
Asrock 970 extreme4
AMD FX 8350 4.0ghz
GTX 970 4gb SC
Additional info : I also made the mistake of updating bios whilst my GPU was over clocked. But as far as I'm aware, there are no physical damages to my PC. Thank you again.
