G725 pc won’t boot to bios

Mikeb470

hello,

I picked up my g725 exactly one month ago. Everything was going great until about 2 weeks ago when I was playing Age of Empires 4 and the screen froze and the pc crashed and restarted. I shrugged it off and figured it was some issue with the game.

2 days ago this started occurring again, and happened about 5-7 times regardless of what game I was playing. I looked in event viewer for what I thought was the issue (posted below) and with a friends advice came to the conclusion that I needed to update drivers for the motherboard. I figured since I never had armory crate installed I’d do that, and update everything. About 1 hour later the system froze and crashed again and took a few tries to boot and to even get to bios. I decided to update the bios, and once got a message on power up about bios updating something with the led lights. Then nothing. I let it run for about an hour and pressed f2 a lot after but no result.

This morning I did a reset on the motherboard by taking out the battery and shorting the cmos. Still no effect. The blue power light on my case usually is blinking rapidly, so maybe there is a power issue. I am about out of ideas, other than taking my machine back to the Denver micro center. Any input is appreciated…

thanks much,

Michael

I would flash the BIOS again using the flashback process. Are you familiar with how to do that?
