I was running a GA-Z170-HD3P MOBO with an i3 6100 processor and a 1GB nvidia graphics card
which I built myself some time ago.
I decided to update the processor to an i7 7700 and graphics card to 2GB but needed to update bios first to support new processor.
I downloaded the Gigabyte APP Centre installed some of the updates suggested including BIOS update,
Everything went fine and my machine re-started and ran ok.
so as I was still waiting for the new processor to arrive I went ahead with the graphics card update.
After swapping out the graphics card I fired it up again and ----Nothing it would not start!
In case it was a faulty graphics card I swapped it back but still no good.
As this board has "DUAL BIOS" I assumed if anything went wrong it would sort itself out but obviously not.
I have since re-built the machine with a new board of the same type but later bios with the new processor and graphics card and it all works fine.
So any ideas anyone as to why the original board failed and if it should be recoverable so I can re-use it?
