Follow the steps here to fully clear CMOS:
http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=630&title=how-to-clear-cmos-via-battery-removal Installing the incompatible CPU may have caused corruption in the UEFI settings. If so, a full CMOS clear should do the trick. If that fails, then you may have purchased a damaged/dead board. |

Hi I bought this b360 pro4 motherboard (2hand) and I tried my old skylake CPU kinda expecting it didn't work, it started up with strangely kinda gas handle sound and shut down and repeat ok no prob. so I waited for an i5 8400 coffeelake CPU that should have worked,... same behavior well maybe it was the RAM, so I waited a bit more and got RAMstick that should have worked. but the same behavior. It started 2 fan vrooms" and shuts down, repeating this over and over. I kinda expect that for a first test boot outside the case. (to set the bios) but no image no nothing, I have nothing attached yet just CPU MEM and power. HDMI monitor(tried both internal and extern GPU) keyb and mouse (wired) also tried dif power supply I have no idea what the previous owner did with it, so that is no source of help. this is the behavior I get when RAM is installed, I get the 2 fan vrooms shutdown no image repeating over and over. If I take out the RAM it powers on and keeps running. switching slots same vrooms nothing on monitor off course, so I must assume the bios is bricked. the skylake CPU is good so is the ram (when I put it back in my other pc it works fine)the coffeelake was a sealed in the box one so that should be oke. since I got this board 2hand there is no warranty I guess but what can I do to unbrick this BIOS? replace the chip? flash it with a tool? any info would help. I ordered a new motherboard (another brand) so that is not a problem but I was hoping to breathe some life back into this one. just for the experience, how ???
