Hey guys. As you can figure from the title, im writing this from my phone...
A few weeks back i built my first computer with the help of a few professionals. There were no issues what so ever, and i began installing drivers and such. Ive been using it since, mainly for gaming, but today, while i was listening to music and browsing facebook, the sound started crackeling. I googled it, and found a thread saying something about my drivers. I checked all drivers on my pc to see if they needed updates (used the windows 10 function to check each of them) and it said that my firmware drivers were outdated. Windows started installing some new driver, and then restarted the pc. It began to do a system update, and i went to the bathroom. When i came back, everything was black. My mouse, keyboard, headset, usb drives and monitor all seemed to have lost their signals. The backlighting on the motherboard was still on, so i figured it mustve gone into standby. So i press my spacebar, no response. Try the mouse, no response. Tried pulling out usbs and plugging them back in, nothing but darkness. So i forced a shutdown by holding the power button. (Looking back this mightve been dumb). When i tried to turn it on again, everything went fine, except everything was still dead. All fans were going, but thr harddrive lights were off, aswell as all the accessories (incl. Monitor) i tried pulling out the powe cable and leaving it out, some weird attempt to reset mobo or something, but still nothing. Can a firmware driverupdate have bricked my mobo? What should i do? I need my pc urgently for an assignment due tommorow evening
and i cant afford to buy a new one, since im a student.
Specs:
16gb ddr4 ram
Intel core i5-6500
Asus strix gtx970
Corsair 750w psu
240gb ssd
1tb hdd
Msi z170 gaming pro carbon
