UPDATE: Took it into a repair shop, they got it back in a day. Said they took out all drives, flashed a new BIOS to a USB drive and turned the PC on. After a while, it detected the BIOS wasn't working, and asked to update BIOS using the USB drive.
As my title claims, I updated my BIOS on my PC this afternoon on a flash drive. After it reached 100% it restarted, but nothing happened on my monitors (they kept reading: "Entering Power Saving Mode" and "No Signal".) I should mention that for the past 2 days I had been mining on and off for ~12 hours a day, and overclocked, but would set the settings default when I came back and would always restart my PC. Also, when playing Player Unknown's Battle Grounds I would get 1 of 2 errors every 3 or 4 rounds:
1.) My monitor would go a solid color, often the most common color being displayed at the time. (i.e if I where to have a picture of a ocean pulled up, the monitor would go blue. I could still hear the in-game sounds, but not my friends in discord
2.) The blue screen of death, which said "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (nvlddmkm.sys)"
I have attempted the following:
• Taking out the CMOS battery for 10 minutes and touching a small screw driver to the two places the battery touches.
• Touching the 3-4 pins under JBAT1 with a small screw driver.
• Only using 1 stick of RAM in different slots.
• Using my other stick of RAM in different slots.
• Putting my GPU in a different PCI-E x16 Slot.
• Taking out my GPU and trying to use my integrated graphics on CPU.
This is my current PC part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VT2QGf
Is it time for a new mobo? Can I somehow get this back? Is the BIOS stored on a chip that I can replace?
EDIT: So I did some more research and found that you can buy BIOS chips. Would this fix my issue?
