While updating the BIOS tonight - due to the PC starting to restart itself last night while playing games ( 3 times ) and tonight while browsing the net. I went to the MSI page and found the driver I was running was released in 2013, so I downloaded it - closed all my programs and went to run the installer. It said that the version was not compatible with my hardware, so I used LiveUpdate to update the bios (rookie error I know, but I knew the one I had downloaded was for my motherboard and couldn't find any way to get it to work.)
So during the LiveUpdate BIOS update my computer went to a blue screen and said it needed to restart because - Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal. I didn't receive any blue screen restarts on the other restarts - just like i'd hit the reset button ( which i've never used).
It froze on the restart screen for around an hour so I restarted the PC, now it just keeps restarting with no POST beeps and nothing on the monitor.
I've taken the BIOS battery out for around a minute and put it back in and still nothing.
Have I bricked the MOBO or can I save it still?
Specs:
MSI Z87-GD65 MOBO (Was running 1.3 tried to update to 1.C)
2X MSI GTX770
I5-4690K (not overclocked)
4x 4GB 2100MHZ RAM
Corsair 750M PSU
Evo 212+ CPU cooler
Fan Controller says all fans are running fine.
