Seeking guidance on F1 boot problem.
Hi, your system started working properly after pressing F1, but you're having trouble getting into the BIOS. Have you tried resetting the CMOS or checking if the power supply is stable? Also, ensure the motherboard fans are spinning and the system is properly seated in the case.
It seems you're concerned about a motherboard or BIOS problem. Could you share your specifications? Also, can you try accessing the BIOS via Windows Advanced Startup?
The motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z790-P LGA 1700 equipped with an Intel i7-12700K. I’m not sure how to access it via Windows Advanced Startup settings.
Press the restart button in Windows while holding Shift—it should launch Advanced Startup. Then navigate to Troubleshooting > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings and set it to default. You can also attempt to clear CMOS using hardware support at the provided link.
The pins are located in the LGA socket. I’d need to remove the CPU again to capture an image. I realize it might not boot at all. From what I could observe, there are roughly four bent pins, none of which seem to connect properly to other pins and likely make some contact with the CPU.
