Motherboard suddenly bricked?

Hello fellow computer forum members.

I have the Biostar T990FXE board that got bricked just now. It won't even post or anything. Strangely enough, I didn't even do anything to it. All I did was trying to enter BIOS, and it simply didn't get there. I waited for a couple of minutes and decided to reset the system.

And, it hasn't been able to post since the then. What did I do wrong? Ironically, I didn't see anything wrong in the system prior to this. In fact, before I tried entering the BIOS I was just restarting a fully working system.

Any help or is this motherboard dead?

Try removing the power cable and the BIOS battery, hold the power button for 5 seconds, replace the battery and power cord, and turn the system on.

Did you flip the switch on the power supply for power there?

My first PC did that once, and worked after flipping the PSU switch back on. Never found the issue, though.

Does it sound like its booting, but your just not getting any thing on the screen? Or are you hitting the power button and getting nothing?

Of course I flipped the Power switch on and off many times over and over again but the same thing happens. I don't have any beep speakers handy with me, but there's actually an LED display that supposedly give error codes if it's not posting, which displayed an unidentified number of 19. It's turning on just fine, the fans are spinning at full speed. I don't think it's a problem with anything other than the motherboard.

That code is a hex output of CPU temp which is equivalent to 25oC. Try and remove all ram and reinstall just one stick and see if it boots.

Sorry for the gap between updates, I've toubleshooted in every possible way (different CPU, Ram, GPU, PSU, etc.) and nothing works, I'm replacing the motherboard.
