Sometime in early May reports came out that a new Microsoft update was bricking particular Asus Mobos. Since I was still using Windows 7, I heeded the advice to wait for the next update that would fix this issue from happening, I.E. I did not update immediately, I waited for the next update. Despite this, since then My computer has worked. When the computer is turned on, nothing happens on screen. The numbers on the MOBO continuously change. Placing the Windows disk in the rom does nothing. It doesn't get to a point where this is useful.
Shortly before this all occurred, I noticed that I had not updated my bios in years (literally-probably 3-4). Yes, I know, I know.
I have searched and searched, and can find nothing that suggested a fix for this issue UNLESS you can get to the BIOS, which it appears I cannot.
I am, by most accounts, a tech amateur. I built this computer in 2012-my first build-when I thought that I's be using it on a daily basis for extremely sophisticated needs. Things changed, and I used it far less than expected. Consequently, I haven't babied it and kept up to date with updates (in general). My point in saying this is that I may need some explanation with suggestions, and I may not understand certain jargon. I am capable (and willing) to do whatever is necessary to get this working.
Finally, if this has been resolved, I'd appreciate a link. I searched the forums using a number of keywords and phrases and could not find anything that related to my exact issue.
Sincerely,
EW
