Hello, So I was on my computer last night and i've been looking to upgrade the CPU and so i found out that I need to upgrade my BIOS to make it work. I have a Dell Dimension E521. Fortunatly dell has a bios upgrade that is an executable from inside windows after you download the upgrade. Unfortuantly when I ran it, it wouldn't respond and thus didn't work. The executable was stuck on the part of erasing the current BIOS. So that freaked me out a bit but the computer still worked fine after that. I left it on overnight so it could copy some files from an external over to an internal. When I woke up, the moniter was in power save mode, the front of the computer had this amber light, and the fan was still going. I thought it just went to sleep so i pressed a button on the keyboard and it didn't wake up. I've been looking around on the internets and they suggest it could be the power supply but I'm afraid the BIOS update messed it all up. What makes me think it could be either of this is that before I started it the first before i even got the bios executable, it said LOW POWER and KEYBOARD FALIURE! Now i didn't have the keyboard plugged in and so i think maybe the power supply is bad, or the BIOS battery is dead. There is this Amber LED lit up inside the computer too. Did i just break the motherboard? None of the keyboard lights blink on then off when i turn the computer on, same with everything else. Its like it doesn't even know they are there.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
