Using the UEFI advanced options interface I updated the UEFI using the internet, the process completed and said press enter to reboot the system which I did. Nothing happened. System powered up but no response of any kind, no power to keyboard or monitor but HD led is lit and system sounds like its running.

Checked the webs and read up on how to clear CMOS since that seemed the solution. Followed the instructions (moved cmos jumper for 15 secs. reboot, nothing. then repeated this time removing the battery for 15minutes before rebooting. Nothing. Repeated again this time waiting overnight. Nothing.)

I am at a loss. What do I do now? Is my Motherboard toast?

The system has been running good but lately was having issues not sleeping hen it should and rebooting to different OC settings than what was saved and the AStxu utility was not updating those settings properly which is why I updated the UEFI in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
