I was playing beat saber, my VR game, and my PC crashed. Previously the game crashed a couple times. I think it was my CPU OC. I was overclocked to 3.8ghz. But I was in good temps, and only 1.375 volts. Not too bad. Anways, im not completely sure but it crashed and went to the windows recovery ( or aka blue screen), while blasting a loud noise. I said screw that, and just restarted my PC. But now it wont boot into BIOS at all. I did a CMOS reset. I went to Advanced Settings to UEFI. I have tried everything. Tried booting without HDD’s, nothing. I don’t know if its a CPU issue or a Motherboard issue. Kind of ticks me off. I am about to add more fans and do a GPU mod as well and now I cant get into my BIOS to make sure all the fans will work properly. Getting an AIO which will be going into my CHA fan header. (It is the Kraken G12 mod)…. and I wanted to make sure that is running at 12v constant. I could use speed fan still I think without it but now my bios is on default, and I still like to fiddle with some things. For instance, my ram is now back at 2133mhz… yuck. Anyways, its been a few hours trying to fix this and I have no clue what to do. I may just let my PC rest and see if it fixes itself but ugh.
Hi @justbelikebrett , If it boots into Windows OK , try disabling Fast Startup and see if that allows access to BIOS on boot. Go to Control Panel > Power Options > choose what the Power buttons do (left side of page)> Change Settings that are currently unavailable > uncheck box -turn on Fast start up (recommended) > save changes. Restart the computer and check if you can access BIOS OK
I know this is an old thread but I was having the same issue. And found the problem. My PC was thinking my VR headset was the main monitor during boot and switched back on windows. Unplugging the headset fixed the problem
What are your PC specs? It sounds like an old CPU if it’s 3.8 GHz at 1.375v. Try removing the overclocks in BIOS if you haven’t already and see if you can boot windows.
My desktop is not going to bios. i have window 10 enterprise I have MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON motherboard and AMD RYZEN 7 2700X CPU and 1TB M.2 NVME SSD the CROSAIR POWER SUPPLY is 550GOLD and the RAM 32GB 3000MHZ CROSAIR and AMD RADEON RX580 graphics card. i tried to go to bios from window recovery option but the screen is dark nothing there when i press alt+ctrl+del reboot and window load if i update the bios will it work ? or do the CMOS ?
