How to fix: Stuck on logo, no post, no recovery (after windows update)

[Sylvean]

Hello.

I have stumbled upon many threads with the same issue as I had : the computer failed to go past the boot, likely du to a windows update. Leading the computer to be stuck on the logo.

Windows repair media could be booted but not go past POST. memtest ran without issue. Linux same as windows, boot but no POST.

How to resolve:

1. Read : https://mcendon.github.io/gigabyte/BIOS_update_operation_instructions.pdf
2. Download the .zip, unpack it to your an USB key. just to be sure copy the bootx64.efi (or whatever it was named I forgot) at the root also.
3. Then download the bios update for your motherboard (mine was : https://cdn.medion.com/downloads/software/00_Bios_Crawler_E50_Defender_P50_Deputy_P60_Scout_E30.zip)
4. Unzip the update to the usb key along the .efi and folder extracted previously.
5. Restart you computer and boot on the USB (make sure secure boot is off, don't know if it matters but I disabled it)
6. Plug-in the power if it isn't already
7. you will be met with a shell, type the name of the .efi at the root of the usb.
8. The update will start, then the PC will shutdown, once it's done start the computer and you should be good to go!

Cheers,

Whoop small edit, after running the .efi, type the name of the .BIN file to start the update.
