Hi, 

 

so I installed a new cpu cooler, booted to Windows, checked idle temps were great, wanted to overclock my cpu, restarted it, tried opening bios and when I pressed DEL button it just starts spasing out, MSI logo starts flashing almost giving me an epilepsy attack ?, could anyone please help me?

so far i've tried everything, I tried taking out the CMOS battery with the three pin cable - that didn't do anything. I tried opening bios with my gpu taken out, still did nothing but without the GPU it just the bios screen flashed/spasmed even faster, I even changed the CMOS battery and still it didn't change anything, I'm trying to find a solution for the last 2-3 hours and I can't find anything... Please help guys... If you need any additional information just ask me I will respond right away as it's already almost 12pm where I live.

 

My PC specs:

MOBO: MSI z97 PC Mate

CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: GTX 960

RAM: HyperX Red 8gb 1866mhz

SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 240gb

HDD: Toshiba 1TB

I opened System Information and under BIOS Mode it should say UEFI or LEGACY but it's empty and doesn't say anything, what could that mean?

Disconnect your drives.

Unplug power (by psu button).

Then turn power on and turn on computer without drives.

 

Why unplug and plug power? After power loss, most of BIOSes change boot mode to normal from fast (one time).

Tried this one, didn't change anything..

Scroll down further and use the section labelled as

Boot into UEFI from Settings App
