After I tried to update to 8.20 bios, and restarted the monitor would still stay in sleep mode. I know the monitor is working because I plugged in my laptop to test it.
I have an APU and at the time I was installing my GPU wasn't in there. I was using integrated graphics. I have tried using my GPU as well but did the same thing, I think my mobo is dead, my usb devices aren't turning on. I have also tried resetting CMOS.
My motherboard is a MSI 2AE0

Unfortunately, when a bios update goes wrong you only have two options.

1) RMA to the manufacturer.
2) Replace the bios chip on the board which may not be an easy task at all. Also, this will absolutely void your warranty and possibly ruin the board if done incorrectly.

Best thing you could possibly do is call your manufacturer for their recommendation.

1. Try removing the ram sticks and then putting them back in. Then try booting again.
2 If that doesn't work, see if your motherboard has a cmos reset button either on the motherboard, or on the rear, where the USB ports and keyboard plug in.
Sorry, I didn't see the rest of your post...about already resetting your cmos.

3. CMOS-Clear with main A/C power cable removed from PSU has to be performed. {If this step is not done, the system will reboot after pressing CTRL + Home and will not proceed with recovery procedure.}

4. Press CTRL + Home to trigger BIOS Recovery. -> The system should enter BIOS Recovery Routine. {Will basically work with both USB & PS/2 keyboard. However, a PS/2 Keyboard is recommended as the system will respond earlier to PS/2 Keyboard than to USB Devices.}

Call the manufacturer first if all else fails. If you are out of warranty and they cant help you, then you may be in the market for a new one. Most good manufacturers offer free phone support even for out of warranty items. They have every bit of info about your board whereas we do not.

I'm just scared I would waste $50 for a new mobo,
I don't know how to install the wires back in and I'm also gonna buy a new APU with it or get a different socket and a cpu. I already have a 7750 anyway.

I wouldn't worry about it till you talk to them. Plus building machines and replacing parts is pretty easy and there are loads of tutorials online. Just youtube building a custom pc or something along the lines of that. If you do change out your motherboard/cpu i would recommend doing a fresh install of your operating system.

Is it easy as when I install everything like the new APU and motherboard, when it boots up, would it be easy as following instructions on the screen?
Thanks for the videos saved them into a notepad.

I just saw that you mentioned you have (what i assume is) a pre-built hp machine. I wouldn't recommend upgrading board and processor if you have limited knowledge about computers.

It would be a lot easier for you to replace the board with the same exact board and stick with what you have until you can save up for an entirely new machine.

A replacement of the same board only requires physical installation. No other steps are necessary.

If you want better graphics I would need to know the model of your hp machine to tell you what kind of upgrade would work for your system.

By the way,
APU refers to amd's integrated graphics

GPU refers to a separate dedicated video card such as the 7750.

They don't sell MSI 2AE0's as they are only in prebuilt HP computers and I will build my own computer when I finish college (6 more years in sophomore high school) and I mainly play Counter Strike: Global Offensive which doesn't need much but I play semi competitively but I only get 120 fps and wanting more just in case of I want to play other games at a medium level.

I have the actual Radeon 7750 not integrated, 300w psu so a 5800k would do me good. I would need to upgrade my psu if I want anything better than a 7750 and a 5800k. I'm a student and don't have a job so I don't plan on making big upgrades.
