Hello all,
Unfortunately my autistic side has managed to brick my PC. It won't start, thankfully I've got a MacBook (stfu) so I'll still be able to do academy work, but nothing in game for now.

I'll be on TeamSpeak but less than before. I hope to get this fixed without a lot of expense, but as it stands it isn't looking promising.


Look forward to being back soon.

Do you...Wannacry about it?

seriously how do you brick a computer

How did you brick it? You should be able to replace whatever part you broke pretty easily.

Yeah, was forced to update BIOS and it failed. Thus far, appears to be bricked.

Hopefully not, trying everything to avoid that. Costs a good £160 for the one I currently have.

Epic sale on this one here, i'd definitely check it out. It's almost $100 off after rebates.

Have you tried resetting the Cmos? Pretty sure depending on your board you can get a jumper or put something like screw driver between two pins for the Bios that will reset it. Check YouTube and your board.

Do not forget to make a inactivity note for it, If you think that it wil take longer than 30 day's inform People Services and we will look if we can give you a LOA for it.

Good luck with fixing it!

Fans spin as usual, and all lights are usual on the board itself. The ports, however, are dead as can be. None of the ports (be it display, power etc) except Ethernet work (Ethernet works a charm). The main power light works on the top of the PC, but the indicator light showing HDD activity isn't doing anything.

I've tried launching just off the SSD that the OS is downloaded onto by disconnecting the HDD, no luck so far.
