Not looking good atm
dont know whats going on . Last night i was doing a few wprime runs and thought i give the latest bios a go. I restarted pc , set bios to default F10 / ok . Board restarts but no display. All the fans spin , lights on my crucials dont come on though. Reset CMOS , removed battery for 10 min , start again but no luck . So i turned it off coz was late but today is doing the same thing .
Any thoughts?

I was getting Bios Code 96 with the same description as above. What is your Bios Code.

What is the Bios Code number on the LED when you power on.
Also try this:

Insert a floppy disk with the BIOS

Press and hold the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys down while turning the
power on. Continue to hold the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys down until the
access light on the floppy drive comes on. It may take a few seconds or
more before this light turns on.

If the Bios Code is 96 (already had two boards do this) here is the response from Biostar:

Dear Sir

This problem might be BIOS EPROM data corrupt.
Please try to contact with local dealer for checking of your motherboard or reflash the EPROM to you.

with best regards

No, I am suggesting this to see in the boot block recovery (common with AMI) will re-flash your Bios since from your description it appears to be corrupted.

I will get a floppy during the week and try .

It seems you can use a USB stick with the BIOS-relife feature to overcome a corrupted. From what I have read you can put the BIOS file onto the USB and boot the system with this installed, you may have to hit F8 to select the boot order.
