From Windows hold down left shift then click Start > Power > Restart, once you've clicked restart let go of shift and a menu should pop up. Click Restart to UEFI Firmware.

 

Does it also freeze now?

Msi gaming 5 motherboard. Normally every time I boot up my PC I'll see the msi logo where I can opt to hit delete to enter bios or f11 for boot menu, and lately my pc has been booting straight to windows login. Now whenever I try and enter BIOS or Boot menu I'm just getting code A9 everytime and the display won't output anything. I've reset CMOS, updated GPU drivers, shut it fully down and tried again but still nothing.

Fixed by doing basically this. Don't know why those BIOS settings got changed in the first place.
