Guys I was playing around in bios last night trying to turn on safe boot after changing some setting when I restarted the system it hasn’t been booting and the vga light on the mobo is lit I have tried clearing cmos by taking out the battery and also shorting the pins using a screwdriver still stuck at the same

strong zinc
#

try just keeping the cmos battery out and booting

copper quiver
#

Okay gimme a min

#

Still the same

strong zinc
#

no boot at all?

#

liike its outputting nothing at all

copper quiver
#

Nothing

#

That’s the vga light

strong zinc
#

do you know your motherboard model

copper quiver
#

Yeah

#

Aorus b760 gaming ax

strong zinc
#

VGA light usually has to do with the gpu

copper quiver
#

I did not change anything related to gpu in bios

#

Was just changing a couple of things safe boot custom settings

strong zinc
#

try just taking the GPU in and out

#

And reseaating the power cables for it

#

just as a sanity check

copper quiver
#

Sure

#

Lemme do that

#

Tried the above even tried using on board graphics as output

#

When I power on the monitor power ups and then displays no signal received

#

Then log off

#

And mobo stuck at vga light

strong zinc
#

hmm

#

i mean my thought process after that would be probably q-flashing the bios

#

it could be a power issue. its just strange the GPU light is lit up

#

yeah looked it up just looks like a bug with gigabyte bioses

#

youre going to have to do a q-flash

#

bios download

copper quiver
#

Okay what’s the process? I see theres a qflash button on the board

#

I need to download the bios on a pen drive?

strong zinc
copper quiver
#

Okay let me give this a try

strong zinc
#

Download the bios
Rename the file (e.g. X79UD7.F1) to gigabyte.bin
Put only the file on the usb stick
Plug the usb stick into the USB port labeled for q-flash
Turn computer on while pressing the Q-Flash button (next to the cmos iirc)

copper quiver
#

looks about right?

strong zinc
#

yeah

copper quiver
#

there's no usb port labelled q-flash

#

but one has bios written over it

strong zinc
#

that then

copper quiver
#

how do I know that it started installing from the usb?

strong zinc
#

screen should pop up

#

did you hold down the q flash button on the motherboard

copper quiver
#

yeah I did

#

strong zinc
#

copper quiver
#

strong zinc
#

strong zinc
#

copper quiver
#

strong zinc
#

copper quiver
#

strong zinc
#

#
