Problem! The MAXSUN B650M BIOS doesn't display the menu after swapping the GPU.
Problem! The MAXSUN B650M BIOS doesn't display the menu after swapping the GPU.
I recently swapped out my old GPU for a new one, but since then I’ve lost access to the BIOS—Windows still boots normally. Before the failure, I had a setting that let both the dedicated GPU and integrated GPU run together (possibly called "iGPU Multi-Monitor"). In BIOS I manually directed the main display to the dedicated GPU while the second monitor connected to the integrated one. When entering BIOS, the second screen only displayed the background with no menu, whereas the main menu appeared on the dedicated GPU monitor. This behavior might be connected to the current problem. I’ve tried resetting CMOS, reinstalling the CMOS battery, updating BIOS (limited by Secure Boot), and even booting solely via the integrated GPU. None worked. My motherboard is a MAXSUN B650M Challenger WiFi, a less common model, making support harder to locate. I found someone else with the same issue on Facebook—should I consider replacing the board or try further fixes?
Same problem again. Follow the same steps you usually take. My system is a B650m with Wi-Fi and a Ryzen 5 8600 G. The motherboard is brand new, but after first booting into BIOS it won’t load. I’m checking online guides even though we can bypass secure boot. We need to turn off the Write flash protection in BIOS to update it, but I don’t have access. Also, Windows 11 is installed and it’s running fine, but I’m worried about the settings for my CPU.
from cmd or powershell: shutdown /r /fw
This command is similar to what was mentioned in a Reddit discussion about restarting to UEFI using Asrock Z97 motherboard software.
I'm facing the same issue again. After restarting my PC with UEFI firmware and enabling multi-monitor, the BIOS gets stuck in this state. I can enter W11, press 11, and select SSD boot, but I can't enable XMP or anything else. Did you find a solution? IMG_20250526_115556.jpg
