PC Refuses To BIOS

[ThatNewGuy01211]

My computer will not enter the bios and I am nothing close to sure as to why. I have an x99 5p from gigabyte and typically upon boot would display the Gigabyte logo but that has since gone away as well. If i touch nothing during boot up everything is fine, but the moment I hit delete or spam it to get the timing right (and I've tried changing the timing) the tower lights and fans run but my monitor shows nothing and it will just stay that way until i hold the power and redo it. I've let it go periodically and then keep retrying but everytime this is the result. Running a 5960x, the hardware is old for sure by now ( I believe original owner built this in 2015) but would age make it that finnicky? Getting more and more curious about trying to Overclock the CPU until i can upgrade but it is not seeming like that is possible. As always, any help is more than appreciated

How are you pressing the delete key?

 

You should be spamming it, not holding it

I've seen some computers having trouble entering BIOS if "quick boot" is enabled in Windows 10, try to disable it under the power settings.

Ill look into that now, hopefully its that easy. And @Slottr im definitely spamming

Unfortunately not that easy lol, no dice on changing that option. Still no logo's still no screen or anything besides a lit keyboard and mouse upon spamming delete

Are you sure it's the Delete key? On my Dell's it's the F2. Hrmm.

 

I know.. In the old days, some gaming keyboards or other fancy keyboards were too slow.. So they wouldn't work on startup, and some didn't work in the BIOS at all.. I remember a very old Corsair keyboard I had, had a BIOS mode on it..

 

Do you have another keyboard? Also the best bet would be a PS2 keyboard.

Ive entered bios before with delete key on my current everything ill try again quick with the f2 to be positive but im pretty sure i didnt have luck with this either

Try all the F keys, ESC and Insert.

I've tried all f keys and no dice same as delete or it ignores and boots regardless. In the case of the keys that should work, I get a black screen still. May just be stuck waiting until I upgrade. Don't think bios regardless is up to date and am not the most confident in updating it. Still learning plenty and haven't studied too much on that yet

Usually...most boards have F12 as an option to select the Boot Device screen...and therein should be an option to enter the BIOS...worth a try!!

I tried this as well, my system just ignored these and booted as normal. May just give up on bios and CPU OC ( I say this everytime and come back to it two weeks later lol), and be thankful I can play my games and have my GPU Overclock. Just think age is a factor or the mobo hates me. Could there be any reason in the world it just wouldn't display Bios on my monitor? Obviously every other thing is displayed but is that crazy to think?
