While setting up Ubuntu on my system I encountered an issue during installation and had to disconnect the PC. When trying to boot again, I saw the Beelink splash screen asking me to press DEL or f7 to enter BIOS or boot menu. The computer is fully unresponsive and pressing any keys doesn’t help. I attempted to reset the CMOS as recommended online, but it didn’t work. I’m unsure what steps to follow next since I can’t get off that screen. Could the BIOS be corrupted? Does anyone know how to re-flash it? Thanks ahead!

I don’t know much about the Beelink, but I understand that the BIOS won’t get damaged unless you replace it. The CMOS memory might be affected, but resetting it should restore the BIOS settings back to normal. Regarding why your computer is unresponsive, it’s still unclear to me.

I believe a full reorganization of the SSD could be beneficial. It doesn’t appear the SSD is corrupted, so reaching the BIOS shouldn’t be impacted. What are your thoughts on this?

It's challenging to determine. Certain SSDs might affect the startup order if they're damaged or faulty. A reliable method is to take the SSD out and boot from a USB without a hard drive. The BIOS interface should appear.
