Hello! I’ve assembled my initial PC and am really thrilled about it. However, I’m running into a bit of a snag with the American Megatrends display. They suggest pressing DEL repeatedly to start the setup process. I tried that initially and it told me I was entering setup, but it took around 15 minutes before it finally responded. Now, when I reboot and press DEL again, nothing happens and the message doesn’t appear like it did before. I’ve also tested moving my keyboard to different USB ports without success. Some people on Reddit recommended pressing Y to reset the FTPM, which seemed to work for a while. I was considering that option but wanted advice from someone more experienced. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Also, here are my specifications: CPU – AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-core, Motherboard – GIGABYTE B550M K AM4 with dual M.2 slots, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Realtek GbE LAN, PCIe 4.0; GPU – PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6600 with 8GB GDDR6; RAM – 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB) at 3200MHz; SSD – Ediloca EN600 PRO 512GB NVMe M.2 2280; Power supply – Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX; case – Thermaltake Versa H18 black; cooling fans included.

I would press Y there... or if you have a German keyboard. Z.
