S1200V3RP no longer displaying anything on monitor after BIOS setup change

UStef · ‎02-11-2020

Hi,

I have a S1200V3RP board which has been running perfectly for 5 years. A week ago I wanted to see if I could get QuickSync to work with Plex (UnRaid) and therefore I made some changes in the Bios. Something related to the internal graphics card. When I did the change a warning was displayed but I accepted the change anyways.

Long story short. After the change nothing is shown on the monitor during boot. Nothing at all. And it never finishes the boot process.

Fans are running and everything seem normal except nothing on the monitor and it does not finish boot. If I remove all memory it beeps as it should so it's not completely dead.

Below are the LED status lights:

I have tried to reset the bios. No change.

I have tried to reflash the bios. No change.

I have tried with several another graphics card. Including simple ones.

Any ideas? I have no clue how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

I looked at the LED information but it's still Russian and of no use.

I tried to clear the CMOS but that did nothing. And as I can see nothing on the screen I don't know if anything did happen.

I tried reflashing the CMOS from the backup and from a flashdrive. Nothing!

I guess I have to buy a non-Intel motherboard to get this running again :(
