3020M, no display after update BIOS

Optiplex 3020M micro has running OK. Go to Dell website and update all driver, VGA & BIOS, can do restart normally. Change BIOS to Load Optimize Default. And then my PC won’t turn ON. Clear CMOS, remove CMOS battery & jumper, PC on but no display. Anyone has experienced this and solved? Please share solution to me... Many thanks
