Screen shows black and you can't access BIOS settings.
Hi, I see you're trying to adjust your system information for a new CPU. When you restart and press DEL, you encounter a black screen with no progress. Restarting manually seems to work, but you don’t see any BIOS details during boot. This issue might relate to the change from legacy to UEFI settings. For a B450 Tomahawk MAX MOBO and a Ryzen 5 3600, reverting to the legacy BIOS could be necessary if updates aren't applying correctly. If you can’t access the BIOS screen, you may need to use another method to restore it. Let me know how you’d like to proceed!
It occurred during a dp connection issue. Functioned after switching to hdmi.
Switching from legacy to UEFI and using a display port cable instead of HDMI resolved the issue with the BIOS not displaying. Unclear why, but it worked. Note: This was mentioned in the follow-up post.
