XPS 8930 Bios Failed

Hello,

I tried to update the BIOS last night(it said it was urgent) and after the restart, it wouldnt boot up. What I got was the 3,6, blinking lights.

I followed the directions here:

https://www.dell.com/community/XPS-Desktops/XPS-8930-dead-motherboard/m-p/7388798#M27825

But I still cant get into the recovery screen. I press and hold the ctrl and esc keys as instructed but it eventually goes into the 3,6, lights again. I removed the cmos battery and unplugged the cord for 1 min (or longer)

Tried again and nothing. It just wont go into recovery mode with the USB. Please help. My only option is purchasing another MOBO. Is that even an option, to upgrade the motherboard? Any suggestions are needed.
