17 R2, BIOS update failed, bricked

I've found numerous threads on this, but have not found a solution yet. After downloading a BIOS update that I found on the dell drivers site, it ran for about 10 seconds then completely froze my computer and the fans ran at max speed. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and let it run for about 2 hours, but it was still frozen on the same screen. I powered off my computer and restart it, now it won't boot. The lights will turn on and the fans will too at low speed, but the screen doesn't(not even for the one time boot menu).

I tried to reset the BIOS settings by taking out the CMOS battery for half an hour, but no luck. My warranty already expired and I'm kind of upset this happened. Any help is appreciated.
