[a dreams forever]

Please help me. I went to intel.com and decided to update some drivers and such for my desktop. one of them was to flash my bios. I pressed on the program and it restarted my computer updating stuff in bios. after it was done it restarted my computer again but now nothing happens. I turn on my computer and it starts up but NOTHING is shown on my screen. nothing.. its black.. the computer starts up and doesnt even beep. just sits there. i see lights on my motherboard and such bit nothing. how can i fix this?

wait.. do you have an intel motherboard? was the bios u downloaded made for that exact model?

Assuming it is the correct BIOS for your motherboard - check if they also have a FDD version. Download it from another computer and put it onto a floppy. Boot to the floppy, try the upgrade again. Something appears to have not gone right with your previous upgrade attempt.

Or clear the CMOS.

Tried all of that. Nothing. I just went and got a new motherboard. Works fine now. It was the same model bios that I downloaded. I tried the cmos and the recovery bios but the problem was that i was getting no signal at all to the monitor.

My uncle had a similar problem about 2 weeks ago. He would press power, and it looked like it powered up but no signal on the monitor. Basically I unhooked everything, and tried booting with just the monitor attached, worked fine. Hooked up one thing at a time and everything worked. No idea what the problem was, for some reason it worked.
