I'm still trying to figure out what I'm dealing with. I installed two new memory modules but they didn't perform well—they ran at a lower speed than expected. I checked the BIOS settings and adjusted the clock speed, but it just got worse. I also attempted to overclock the CPU, but that didn't help either. After changing some RAM settings and restarting, it worked this time, though I couldn't reset it from BIOS. I accidentally pressed the BIOS flash button without understanding what it does. Eventually, I restarted my PC, but it kept failing to boot properly. I looked online for solutions, restarted again, but nothing changed. I even removed the CMOS battery, which allowed the system to run the boot sequence, but it stuck on VGA mode. Recently, I tried the BIOS flash button without interference, but it still didn't resolve the issue. I'm stuck here, about 10 to 15 minutes in, and I need advice on how to fix this. My motherboard is an MSI B450.
That's correct, I was on the right track, but the problem has changed. I'm struggling to access the bios now.
I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you're asking. Could you clarify your question?
Without a USB stick and the BIOS key not working, it’s hard to know what you’re doing. The most reliable option is to reset the CMOS: disconnect the power source, remove the CMOS battery, hold the power button for about 30 seconds, then reinsert the battery and try restarting the PC.
Using the standard options initially. Feel free to adjust later after some research online.
