Can't enter my bios

I just built my pc and when I start it up i can get to windows, but I can't get to my bios to enable xmp. When I boot, it doesnt even show the logo. I have disabled fast boot. Mobo is gigabyte ds3h b450.

Turn on the PC and start mashing the DEL, ESC, F2 and F12 keys.

Preferably with the most basic keyboard you have (sometimes these gaming boards with all those LEDs doesn't get turned on until later).

 

Alternatively if that does not work, you can try going to the UEFI via  Windows: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/enter-bios-computer/

If that still does not work, you can try unplugging your storage drive(s), so your motherboard can't boot into anything (other than the BIOS of course).

And how did you deactivated fast boot without even getting into the bios ?

It doesn't show me a uefi option, and when I mash delete, it takes me to a black screen and windows doesn't load in.

Oh i thought you was talking about the fast boot bios.

Try to unplug the boot drive and mash del again uefi as a tendency to overtake user interaction on the post with the windows boot manager that one of the reason why i dont use uefi.
