Troubleshooting a No Post Problem After BIOS Update

TLDRIn this troubleshooting video, we investigate a no post problem after a BIOS update on a recently built computer. The system experienced sporadic issues, and we attempt various troubleshooting methods to identify and resolve the issue. We test different GPU connections, try alternate display ports, and swap GPUs to isolate the problem. Ultimately, the issue seems to be a conflict between the VBIOS of the EVGA graphics card and the motherboard.

Key insights

Updating the BIOS can lead to sporadic no post problems

Checking GPU connections and trying alternate display ports can help troubleshoot the issue

Swapping the GPU with a known working one can help isolate the problem

In this case, the issue seems to be a conflict between the VBIOS and the motherboard

This can be resolved by rolling back the BIOS to a previous version or contacting the manufacturer for a solution

Q&A

What can cause a no post problem after a BIOS update?

A no post problem can occur after a BIOS update due to compatibility issues, incorrect settings, or conflicts between hardware components.

How can I troubleshoot a no post problem after a BIOS update?

To troubleshoot a no post problem after a BIOS update, you can try removing and reseating hardware components, checking connections, resetting CMOS, and rolling back the BIOS to a previous version.

Why is it important to test the GPU in a different system?

Testing the GPU in a different system helps determine if the issue is specific to the GPU or if it is related to the motherboard or other components in the original system.

What should I do if I encounter a conflict between the VBIOS and the motherboard?

If you encounter a conflict between the VBIOS and the motherboard, you can try rolling back the BIOS to a previous version or contacting the manufacturer for assistance and possible solutions.

How can I prevent no post problems after a BIOS update?

To prevent no post problems after a BIOS update, it is important to ensure compatibility between hardware components, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the BIOS update, and backup your system before performing the update.
