cannot start computer after AVAST update
« on: September 16, 2012, 06:27:33 PM »
after I click update button on the AVAST window, my PC went to a dead mode.
 I shut down and restart it but cannot go to the boot menu, all is black. Suspect the BIOS is damaged, what to do?

hey and welcome to the forum. are you able to boot into windows? if so try a clean installation of avast and see if that could help.

run the uninstall tool for avast and reboot your system. install a fresh copy of the latest version of avast
