So I've just updated the BIOS on my MSI H170. I thought everything went fine during the AMI BIOS update, but when the loading bar was at 100% my computer restarted with no screen output. I am now stuck with a USB that contains a new .c90 file to flash, but I can't get a display output to atleast know what is going on. Besides that, I noticed a red LED on the motherboard next to a label 'cpu'. However, all LEDs and components such as fans are working.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards,
Jasper

first, why did you update in the first place.

if it made it to 100%, it means it finished. maybe pull the power and the battery or clear the bios with a jumper/switch however you do it on your board.

did you do anything other waiting patiently? remove the usb maybe?
have you tried to clear cmos? since you are updating BIOS I'm assuming yo know you ways around computers.

things you can try.
tried to remove and change the cmos battery?
try a different cpu
breadboard (reassemble computer)

if don't work
your motherboard maybe bad. (I experienced red led near cpu myself.) It was the mobo.

Alright I've fixed it myself. To anyone experiencing the same issues, try this:
- Switch your pc off and unplug the power for atleast 20 seconds.
- Switch to a direct video output on your motherboard instead of graphics card.
- Turn your pc on again.
- If that doesn't fix it: turn your pc off and replug all drives.
- Pray to Lord GabeN.

Thank you for your quick response! I fixed it before reading the comments. I tried to update the BIOS for new chipsets and .m drives support.

Thank you for your respone! Apperantly the BIOS update worked, but for some reason the POST failed and didn't use my graphics card's output as a video source at the first boot.
