bios will not remain active - system crashes to a black screen
bios will not remain active - system crashes to a black screen
I'm playing a Gigabyte Z170 K1 with the F23 BIOS.
I recently cloned a Samsung EVO 960 from an old SATA stick.
After installing it, I found the BIOS wasn't functioning well—it would crash to a black screen after a few seconds or minutes.
I reset the BIOS and the issue continued.
The computer runs through normally, but the BIOS environment remains unstable.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thank you for the updates.
Yes, the issue occurs with the new drive that was installed.
My error was acknowledged; according to the manual, the motherboard model is a GA-Z170-Gaming K3.
I considered that the BIOS crashing might be linked to input devices like the mouse or keyboard, but also to inactivity after the BIOS screen appears, which lasts 5-30 seconds before a black screen appears.
The BIOS version currently running is F23c, as listed on the provided page.
Did you flash the right BIOS tho? Since there's a 1 and 1.1 revision mobo
Take the battery out for a moment then put it back in. Check if that resolves the issue
Battery was removed for 11 minutes without triggering CMOS activation. System started working normally in Windows. First attempt after reboot showed no "Hit DEL for BIOS" message. Progressed into BIOS and after 3 seconds experienced a crash. Before proceeding, are there any other checks I should perform regarding the BIOS update?
