Bios fail to initialize on the motherboard.
Bios fail to initialize on the motherboard.
Hello, I own a GIGABYTE B365M DS3H model that doesn't have Wi-Fi. I'm having trouble accessing the BIOS settings. After checking, it looks like fast boot isn't turned on. I've tested F2, F5, F7, F10, and F12 plus deleted keys, but it still seems to slow down startup. Please help!
If you're interested, here are my specifications: Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM (1x16), GTX 1030. Updated July 23, 2021 by Falling Enity. Let me know if you need more details!
To access the BIOS, usually you press the Delete key when the splash appears. Another method involves holding Shift during a restart and selecting Troubleshoot > Advanced > UEFI, which will launch the appropriate menu to boot into BIOS.
I realized I accidentally pressed the delete key, which caused the screen to turn on after the splash. Now I’m only seeing the dual-boot interface. Updated July 23, 2021 by Falling Enity. More details available.
Move your keyboard to a USB 2.0 port. Could be the usb 3 ports are not initialized in bios, or the bios doesn't look for keyboards in the usb 3 ports. Could be the bios has an issue with all usb keyboards. It happens sometimes. Could try with a PS/2 keyboard, if the motherboard still has the connector. The PS/2 keyboard is more legacy, more low level, will pretty much always work and it's also a good way of figuring if bios functions ( ex if you press num lock on the keyboard, and the num lock turns on, you know the system isn't locked/frozen and that something still does some thinking, because that something send the ps/2 keyboard the command to turn on the led - with usb keyboards you have no guarantee, the controllers inside the keyboard will turn on the led without a command from the computer)
it doesn't always require pressing DEL to access the BIOS. for my work machine it's F12, while some systems use ESC. over the years I've tried various keys—starting with DEL, then ESC, and finally testing each F key from 1 to 12. Eventually, it worked after a bit of trial and error.
