This can't be happening!! I have tried everything except bios flash/update. Does anyone know if this works?

Did you search?

This shows 5 possible solutions. Which have you tried?

All, except 5 and part of 2, which says;
 ''Make sure your system is updated with the latest SBIOS''
My BIOS is dated 2013, got the updated BIOS version which is 2014. I am not sure how to go about it. as I gather any wrong move, can brick ur system.
Btw, if u clone your system to an external drive, will it wipe out all the previous  files in the external drive? I have to backup my system before I try this.
This used to happen before, but removing the battery and putting it back after some time solved it.

Well first thing to do is backup your files.

No computer should ever be turned on without a working backup strategy. Data is valuable, and hardware is fleeting.

Tried it. Didn't work. Gpu might be dead. I am still looking at other things. What of external gpus? I am wondering if Nvidia has external gtx cards?
I did look it up. What I am seeing are quadro cards exteranl gpu. I gather they don't work well with game engines.
Which would be best for external gpu and ue4?

Any video card can be used as external. You just need an enclosure. Like this one:
