Hi all maybe someone can help as this has me stumped.
Bought a dead cheap system off Facebook for parts knowing it wouldn't boot.
Tried to boot anyway and nothing, no signal.
Noticed board had dual BIOS so switched to BIOS 2 and hey presto booted up. I plugged in my trusty Linux ssd and booted into mint without issue.
Curiosity got the better of me so I followed the process to flash BIOS 1 via a USB stick, not sure why but this failed when it tried to auto reboot just got no signal.
Upon reboot in previously working BIOS 2 I now get no signal and the board powers down after about 2 minutes.
Have done hard reset/battery out clear CMOS all that stuff but no joy.
Any ideas if or how this can be rescued?

Thanks!
