I updated my mobo BIOS from 1.B to 1.C using the MSI Live Update. It froze and I rebooted the PC. After that there's no sign on my monitor, everything turns on but my monitor shows no signal. I checked the motherboard and the LED shows F2. I checked the manual and F2 was not on the list. I tried using the On board VGA and the graphics card. It showed no signal still. I tried resetting the CMOS but nothing changed. I tried switching RAMs and I used on RAM stick nothing changed still. I checked other threads people say the mobo may be bricked. I wanna find ways to fix it before consider replacing it. If anything would it be possible that my SSD would be defected too? I have to make sure.

There is almost zero possibility that a failed BIOS update would affect HDD/SSD -- Did u try to remove the CMOS Battery and replacing it after a minute or 2 and then try restarting.. ??
