Displaying the motherboard status screen. Need help resolving the issue?
I was browsing YouTube when I suddenly encountered a BSOD (image attached). I turned off my PC and restarted it. But when I tried to access the motherboard screen (Gigabyte ultra durable), I couldn't proceed. I attempted several fixes: resetting CMOS (pins and battery), re-seating RAM, removing all cables except power and output. I couldn't enter BIOS, as if the system was frozen on that screen. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I might delete all storage and run with just one RAM stick to test BIOS access. If that fails, I can use the BIOS-flashback feature if it's available.
To remove all storage, you’d typically delete the drive from your computer. Since you’re new to PC hardware, follow these steps:
1. Open the case of your computer.
2. Locate the storage drive (usually labeled as HDD or SSD).
3. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to erase all data.
4. Wait for the drive to power off and confirm deletion.
If unsure, consult a tech support person or use a guided tutorial.
Thanks a lot, it really helped! I’m finally able to get into bios now. Probably just reinstalling windows or something similar will fix it. TYSM!! I was almost ready to buy a new motherboard.
You can remove existing files and folders to free up space. Use the Disk Cleanup tool or delete unnecessary documents, photos, and programs before installing a fresh Windows version.
Turn off the BIOS and reset it to the default settings. Consider enabling XMP for better RAM performance if you have a functional PC. Run Memtest 86 to verify your RAM health. If you need further help, try fixing the system gradually and observe what triggers the Post splash screen. Based on the issue, it might be related to your RAM or storage.
