I'm in a tough spot here. I recently tried to reset my BIOS to disable my setup password, but now my computer won't boot at all. Instead of starting up, I'm just faced with a black screen that has a blinking line at the bottom. It's like my motherboard just decided to give up on me! I've already tried reseating the RAM, resetting the CMOS battery, and plugging/unplugging my boot drive, but nothing seems to work. My motherboard is a Biostar H410M, and I'm feeling pretty desperate to get things back to normal. Any ideas on how I can get past this?

You could try some keyboard shortcuts to see if that helps! Here are a few things to attempt: 1. Press Windows + B, then power on, but keep holding Windows + B. 2. Press Windows + V while powering on, keeping both pressed. 3. Just press V and power on, while holding V. If none of that works, you might need to create a BIOS boot USB from another laptop and then try the shortcuts again with the USB in place.
Wait, you can install BIOS updates from a USB? How does that work?
