Just writing here in case anyone else has this trouble: It's unbelivable this was the "solution" but I could get into the bios and start seeing the boot screens by turning my monitor on AFTER turning my PC on. Apparently I'm such a creature of habit that I never noticed this. Turning my monitor on first ALWAYS results in me having a blacked out boot load and inability to access the bios.

Hey, Recently purchased a new monitor (CJ79 Ultra wide) mainly for it's Thunderbolt 3 input. Why, you ask? Because I'm a developer and occasionally use a MacBook Pro and I like a nice clean desk; and it's a nice compromise that I can still game on. The problem: I have one bluetooth set of peripherals (again... no wires... nice clean desk) for use with the MacBook and I have another set for my Windows gaming rig. I'm fed up of switching them and it's untidy. I'm trying to come up with a decent solution to the problem and failing miserably; closest I've got is multi-paired bluetooth peripherals, but that's still annoying and I can only get my hands on some pretty mediocre logitech ones that are even any good. I thought about using a KVM but only really found one; and that didn't support full 85W charging, and it definitely was not cheap. To be honest the KVM option probably wouldnt be a bad idea if I could find one because then the monitor could act as a USB hub for my perhipherals and I could get standard ones. Perhaps I'm being a little OCD, but does anyone know of a decent Thunderbolt 3 KVM or a different solution that might satisfy my unrational behaviour? :)

Hi all, first time poster, I’m struggling that much! I recently upgraded my system with a new Ryzen 3600 and an MSI X570 A-PRO. I’m having some issues I just can’t get my head around. The first issue is I’m unable to get into my BIOS: I can boot into windows but get no motherboard information on boot. I believe the BIOS is loading in the background because it prevents a boot, but I have tried multiple monitors as well as on board HDMI and GPU. The second issue is general performance problems: I just seem to get stuttering during high load. I’ve tried running a couple of graphics demos and get very odd stuttering even though the both the CPU and GPU are only at around 15 to 20 percent load. Not something I had on my old hardware which was much older. Worth noting that this is a fresh install of windows and there’s nothing software related that could be causing this. Also worth noting I only have the 8 pin ATX power plugged in to the motherboard. My PSU has no 4 pin or secondary 8 pin but I read online this is not required unless overclocking (this seems a common assumption, but I can’t validate it). Trouble is, I don’t want to fork out £100+ for a different PSU if it’s not even a problem. Anyone got any suggestions? :)
