Hey everybody. Hope you are all having a good day. This week I’ve been playing some Minecraft and also continuing my playthrough of Elden Ring seamless co-op. I hope you all have had a good week!

Have you tried shorting the Clear CMOS jumper? (explained on page 37 of the motherboard manual:
You also might want to try updating your BIOS.
Yeah flashing the bios is hapening before i purchase anything else. I don’t have a jumper cap and i didn’t feel comfortable tying a wire to it lol but i was aware of the jbat1
A screwdriver is the usual tool for shorting motherboard jumpers. (entirely serious, not kidding)
Also fyi i very much appreciate your help troubleshooting this
No problem, this is fun for me. Do report back, don’t leave me in suspense.
I will, just in bed rn trying to become sleepy
Couldn’t acquire a flash drive for the bios thingy but powering on without the boot drive still results in the CPU light hang and resetting the bios isn’t helping.
Current solution is I am using my wife’s steam deck with a non-functional screen hooked up to a monitor and keyboard and mouse
My current guess as to what happened is that your boot drive failed and windows fucked up your bios somehow on its way out
Windows does like to do funny pranks like that, doesn’t it?
It sure does. Your motherboard should be able to flash a new bios without being able to boot into its current one with the flash bios button on the back and a flashdrive.
yeah I’m gonna try to rustle up a drive tomorrow but the steam deck can basically run everything I care to play anyway
