Problem description: I was messing around with the XMP settings in the BIOS, and after initially booting with the new settings it got a green screen for a hypervisor error. After this, it just would not boot whatsoever. The fans and misc lights turn on, but the USB never receives power and theres no video. My motherboard even has some debug leds but they never light up so I don't know if that's indicative of anything. I've had this system for a couple years now, so warranty isn't an option. Attempted fixes: I've reset the bios, naturally, and I have attempted to flash the bios using the external flash procedure, but I can never tell if it works because there's not a lot of feedback, the instructions i find are slightly contradictory and what happens doesn't match whats suppose to happen, but its worked in the past. I've made sure the flash drive is flashed with a fat32 partition, and I've tried three different releases from the past year to no avail, renaming both the zip file that you download as well as the binary. Recent changes: Just the aforementioned xmp changes -- Operating system: Windows 11 System specs: I have a 5000 series ryzen 7, and a MSI B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi motherboard Location: US I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:I've reset the bios, naturally... What method did you use? Some motherboards have a button or jumper to use. If that didn't work then you could try removing the battery for a few minutes.

If your usb stick has an activity light it helps troubleshooting drastically. Especially for bios recovery. Rule of thumb is to format an 8 gig partition as Fat32, put the bios image in the root and try. You may have to rename the file to BIOS.IMG or something. Are you plugged into your video card for display output? Does the caps lock toggle on the keyboard? Remove and reinstall ram, check atx power on the video card and motherboard. Try with one ram. Remove video card and battery (carefully!) and try again.
