Bios was successfully updated to 2.59 a while back.
I had been using a 10gb NIC over optical but had a need to hookup with standard cat5 and noticed the on-board NIC wasn't operational. I went into the bios settings to see if there was anything obvious and changes resulted in a no-post scenario: fans start, light stays illuminated for 10 seconds or so then it shuts down, no beeps no blinks.
I enabled two items - one was TPM the other I thought was the NIC but I can't recall the exact field (bios menus are different than my z240s) so I'm thinking either TPM is the most likely culprit but ME/AMT could be at play too.
I've tried:
- disconnect power, remove all peripherals, press hold CMOS reset for several seconds, reinsert GPU only and power on - tried multiple GPUs
- disconnect power, remove GPU, remove CMOS battery for 1hr, press and hold CMOS reset for several seconds, reinsert GPU only and power on
- disconnect power, remove password jumper, power on
- disconnect power, remove ME/AMT Flash override, power on
-note, I'm not seeing documentation for ME/AMT Flash jumper nor BBR jumper
Any help would be greatly appreciated
