Aurora r4 wont boot (no display or beep sound) after update bios.
Hi there,
i updated my aurora R4 bios today to A10. However, without any warnings the screen freezing and the computer restart. Upon self restart,
the fan is running loud and nothing happens after that. No beep soh d, no alien logo. Had tried resetting the bios, remove the smos batt , cycle power,etc.
and the pc does not want to boot. It is working fine before. Is this symptom showing my mobo is bricked? Is there any way to recover or reflash or etc?
i need to upgrade the bios since im going to win8.1 and this is recommrndation bios at dell page for win8.
any help or advise is highly appreciated. Fyi my system is out of warranty and aged 1 year 2 months.

Hello Daddyz!
There is a big possibility that the motherboard got bricked, however you can try with one memory at the time and if you have dual video card as well test with one video card at the time in both slots, and if the system does not respond at all then you will need to replace the motherboard.

The only way to know if the mobo is bricked is if you test one memory at the time and with one video card at the time in all the slots and the issue persist.
