I think i corrupted my bios! Help Fast Please!

Jeppuka22 · May 1, 2017

I turned my pc on and then it was so slow on the lock screen i decided to restart it. Once it booted it started to retrieve c drive files and once it hit 51% the whole computer turned off and hasn't done anything since. I have tried the jumper wire in the psu to put the psu on and the fans start spinning and the voltages going through the 24 pin all seem good. I have also jumped the bios chip with pin 1 and 6 to force boot on the secondary bios but nothing. I tried booting it with only one ram stick and the the cpu only and even changed the psu from my friends old pc but it had a 4 pin for cpu and my mojo is 8 pin. I did some research and found that a 4 pin should still work on a 8 pin slot so I am confident to say that is it not the psu. I also reset the cos by removing the battery and jumping the jumper headers.

My Setup:
CPU: Intel i3 4160
GPU: R9 270x
MOBO: Gigabyte B85 D3H
Ram: 8Gb (2x4) G.skill ddr3
PSU: Thermaltake London 550 Watt
Case:H440 NZXT
SSD: Crucial MX 120 Gb

If the BIOS was corrupted, you wouldn't be able to even start loading windows. I think elbert is on the right track.

I might have forgotten to tell everybody that my pc does not do anything anymore. The pc does not boot and the fans don't even spin for a split second. The whole pc does not do anything. Theres no beeps from the case speaker and nothing happens when i press the power button or the reset button.

Sounds like a dead motherboard to me. Is it still under warranty? If so, I'd RMA it.
