FRDM-KL25 bricked? <SOLVED>

So i was working on some i2c code for a timer and today my board has decided to no longer work on me, at first the program would hang or the board would have trouble providing power to the Adafruit display, but now it won't even load the blinky program properly. I've tried replacing the bootloader and updating my drivers (windows). But i'm not quite sure what else to try.

EDIT: So I tried it on my desktop which is running windows seven and not windows 10, and it seems to work again. I'm not sure what caused the issue but it seems to be fine now.

Remove all external connections to attached peripherals and reduce your setup to the basic KL25 board. Then review the following: https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/mbed-FRDM-KL25Z-Getting-Started After following the above, are you able to flash the LED (blinky program) ? Perhaps the board is damaged due to some incorrect voltage / wiring ? If the blinky does not work, try to change the sample code for the blinky to toggle a different pin and see if the other defined pin toggles as it should.

Had fun recently with windows 10, the issue started recently for me with the FRDM-KL46Z. After preventing windows from writing the volume information.

Could not update the bootloader, or load files to the device.

These are the instructions that worked for me. http://mcuoneclipse.com/2014/11/01/illustrated-step-by-step-instructions-updating-the-freescale-freedom-board-firmware/

I had already upated the bootloader to the latest mbed version, but thanks
