Corrupt BIOS, computer has black screen, doesn't boot anymore?
I have an Intel Desktop Board D102GGC2 with dual core Pentium D 2.8ghz processors.
I made sure that i downloaded the right bios, and opted to use intel's installer to flash bios. I Let the installer restart the computer, and it goes through flashing the bios, and recovery bios smoothly. when its over, it restarts(?) and there is nothing but a black screen. I leave it on for 20 minutes, but nothing changes.
when i turn on the computer, there's no beep (there wasn't any beeps before the bios update either though). It doesn't beep with no RAM plugged in, & it doesn't beep when i pull ram out while its on.
All the fans spin, including my ati x1300 fan, and my 3 hard drives spin up fine. USB doesn't work.
What should I do? I don't have a floppy drive, and have 2 cd drives.

You should NEVER remove components in a pc while its running.
Try resetting the bios. there is a little flat battery on the motherboard, take it out and wait a few mins. If that worked, try re-installing the previous Bios. You may have to use some1 elses computer to create a boot disk to do reinstall it.
Again make sure you installed a Bios compatible with the motherboard. Read multiple sources to verify the answer.
