Can you place the exact error you are getting?
It could just be that your bios reset and the configurations changed so it can't load the hdd. Eg. if you were in raid setup before and now it switched to Sata, the hard drive would not boot.
I isn't going To Be the exact same motherboard. They don't sell it in my country. But the new one should work perfectly with my current hardware (CPU,gpu, ram)
It doesn't give an error code because the screen stays black. But I turn on my computer and the bios peeps ok, I hear the heads of the drive moving back and forth. I turn on my screen and it goes into stand-by. That's all it does
