Specs:
Intel 2600K Sandy Bridge OC'd @ 4.2GHz
Mobo: ASrock P67 Extreme4 Gen 3
16 GB RAM
MSI GeForce GTX 970
Windows 10
2 HDDs, both connected via SATA
This morning, I tried to do some editing in After Effects, but my computer was a bit sluggish. I checked the CPU usage in the Task Manager, and it was stuck at 100%. I googled it and apparently it was a BIOS issue with my mobo conflicting with Windows 10, which I thought was weird considering that it has been running great for a couple months since I upgraded to 10. But of course, being the idiot that I am, I updated the BIOS to 2.20, and now Windows won't start at all. It gives me a INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error, and demands a restart. I've tried resetting the CMOS, changing the settings in the BIOS re: boot devices and SATA settings, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
I've read on some forums that it may be a Sandy Bridge conflict, and that I may be screwed, either having to pay ASrock for a new BIOS chip (which I have no experience replacing) and wait around a month for it to arrive, or just suck it up and buy a new mobo/cpu.
I really need my computer back up and running as I have an editing assignment coming in the next few days.
