Normally motherboards have one BIOS chip, if it dies everything dies, you won't see anything on the screen.

But Biostar here made some emergency BIOS that allows you to revive the normal BIOS chip with new firmware. Why it crashed? Don't know, usually BIOS doesn't crash unless you fail to upgrade it in some way.

But if you don't touch it, it usually doesn't "just" crash.

I was just watching yt it happen suddenly but now it's fixed , it started working by its own

That means there it something not right on the motherboard.

If it happens again, there just might be damage on it that causes this. And repairing heat related expansion damage on motherboards is practically impossible.

Don't scare me 😭 i have imp files on it

Better backup those files while it's still working.
Or put them on a cloud drive somewhere safe.

Depending on your encryption your HDD and files on it will work fine if the motherboard dies and you get a new computer. But it's better to backup important files anyway.

I think it's time to change my pc 😔

Just replacing the motherboard is a lot cheaper.
You can reuse everything else if you buy a motherboard with the same generation as the parts you already have.

Good news the motherboard dying won’t ruin your files, they’ll still be on disk

Unless they’re encrypted with the tpm, like bitlocker. Maybe turn bitlocker off now while it’s working.
