well you need the gpu unless you also have an APU or another GPU… but I would pull all the ram but one stick. unplug anything the computer doesnt need to get to bios. stuff like that…
but really im just shooting in the dark here. I have no idea what it could be.
By the way, I wanted to q-flash the thing, but in the manual and on the internet Gigabyte says to ‘change the bios name to GIGABYTE.bin’, which file should I change?
After reading some older posts, not just about my motherboard I found someone mentioning, that some people said that it’s a resolution issue between the bios and the monitor. The fix was supposed to be, hilariously, turning the monitor on at the right moment. At this point I was desperate, so during one of many reboot I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, after the monitor turned on, there it was, the bios menu, fully functional.
I don’t know what to believe anymore…
So why would it output at that resolution, jesus, that’s such a stupid issue. At least I hope some people might find this thread if they experience similar issues
Could be an over-sight at Gigabyte when the updated the BIOS, I would make sure that they know about it as this maybe something nobody has reported before.
My current system with a Ryzen 3900X on an ASUS 570 Pro board does that. But I thought it was just the Vega GPU.
On first boot after power on the BIOS is fine. It displays fine after BIOS save or Control-Alt-Delete even. But if I let it boot into the Ubuntu desktop, then whenever I reboot there’s no BIOS display until I power it completely off again.
I have no idea if this is related to your issue or not, but it seems interesting.
Hi, any other suggestions to workaround this issue? I have two video cards GT1030 and GTX1660Super and two Dell monitor (1080p and 1440p). With neither of those I can enter the BIOS. Hitting DEL/F2/F12 is causing the MB to freeze on the startup screen.
I have tried multiple/single monitors, starting the board with the monitor off, plugging the monitor after the board has booted.
The best result I have had is on DVI after BIOS reset a windows is shown that the BIOS was reset and I have to set it up but when I hit enter the monitor is blank.
The only thing I can try is flashing the BIOS with the latest version via Qflash.
Any other suggestions???
Update: FYI Qflashed the latest F12e BIOS and the BIOS is visible now.
I added two more sticks of memory. After that, I couldn’t enter the bios. I took them out, and no problem. I was back in. This bios really is poor quality. I won’t buy another of their products.
I updated my Auros Master x570 with F31e and the same issue happened again. I practically disassembled the computer restarted, reset the BIOS and at some point it rose. Not sure which of the action fixed it exactly really annoying issue.
THANK YOU. I never would have got this. I Q-Flashed, did everything. Just turning off the monitor then turning it on once in the BIOS worked instantly. God, the strange bugs in the field of technology.
