When I proceeded to update the BIOS, the system seemed to hang halfway. At first, I assumed that it was having problems trying to read the disk, but after a couple minutes, I began to worry. Everything was frozen, and I had no choice but to power down and try again. I decided that now would be a good time to try the backup BIOS, but that chance never came. When I powered up again, I was greeted with a blank screen. Power was certainly being fed into the mainboard, as all the fans turned on as expected, but there was no POST, nor was there any system beeps.
