new bios A04, comp now broken, any help please,possible bad motherboard not even 3 months old

Hey all, I flashed my bios a few days ago and system ran good,  now today my system when I turn it on monitor does not come on, I restarted it and same thing.  I unplugged it and swapped out gpu cards to see if it was the card and now when I fire it up the fans run at 100% constantly and my monitor or nothing turns on.  I thing my new motherboard is bad. just swapped it out in the xps 700/720 program.  any suggestions   madbirmy

         Sounds like your motherboard took a dump!
 
Try unplugging the power cord, hold in the power button for 20 seconds, plug back in and try to boot.

no it will not post, called xps support we troubleshooted it and it is a bad motherboard. they are sending me a replacement as we speak.  my system warranty was outdated, and the 90day warranty of the replacement was right at 90 days.  Thanks dell for everything.
