    Hey guys I was in the process of updating my drivers via smart update when my laptop froze on bios update. Upon restart the screens shows nothing while everything runs (fans,LEDs). Please help!

    Did the computer restart on its own or did you restart it?

    I did. I fully regret that now. I'm going to submit a RMA with Gigabyte, but I hope there is a way to solve it by myself?

    Yeah... you were supposed to wait. It might seem like nothing is happening and your system is hanging, but it will restart on its own in about 30 seconds.

    What do you suggest I do? Power it on and wait?

    I don't think that would do much if the BIOS flashing didn't go through. You'll pretty much have to resort to RMA'ing, unless you or someone you know have special equipment for flash ROM modification and the knowledge to do so.
