Intel motherboard doesn't let me... Do anything.

[CroixFrozy]

Hi. I have an I7-3770 CPU on an Intel motherboard DZ77-50K. The motherboard does receive sound that I'm smashing the F2 key but nothing happens. Oh nice just got weird red satanic writings thingies on the top of the sreen now as well. Please look at the pictures...thanks for any help!

Have you tried clearing the CMOS?

Also, do you have the display cable plugged into the motherboard or the graphics card? I'd try both of them out to check whether the red satanic thingies disappear.

Have you tried removing all of your drives and see if it lets you move on to the BIOS? it could be stuck on a device checkup in the background, and also can you try different sticks of RAM? or try removing one of them or switching them around on the slots?

Aight I'll clear CMOS as soon as I get back home again. Can you tell me in detail... Do I just have to remove it and wair for 5 minutes? Anyway I tried both the GPU and the mobo HDMI ports, the GPU at least shows a picture while the mobo doesn't seem to give a fuk.

Switch the PSU off, push the power button a couple times, take the CMOS battery out, press the power button a couple more times for good measure, wait 5-10 minutes, put the battery back in, switch the PSU on, cross your fingers, push the power button.

Maybe your CPU doesn't have an iGPU, or it's not enabled in the BIOS.

I know some keyboards have trouble with BIOS compatibility. For example, my Logitech keyboard has issues when trying to boot into safe mode, I have no keyboard response selecting which mode I want to go in, whether it be safe mode, safe mode with network drivers etc. and some keyboards have a setting in them when you press a certain key combination to allow it to work in BIOS. The only work around for me is to disable fast boot is in the MSI Fast Boot application and works perfectly fine.

Good to know. I indeed have a Logitech keyboard. I don't know the exact model, but I think It's the G105 or something.

CMOS reset unfortunately didn't do anything.

I did put the old RAM in. But now my mouses sometimes work and sometimes not. Right now I can't get any mouse to work with this fkn mobo. 

Basically this is the sequence of what happens. 

1. I start the pc and smash F2 like a madman

2. The audio speaker beeps and the screen goes black

3.A Screen lights up and throws me in BIOS settings 

OR

3.B The black screen persists but there's a text saying something like "Fast boot failed wanna try in safe mode or something (Y/N))

I'm assuming you don't have Windows installed on your SSD? it seems to be working fine if it didn't find a drive to boot from, try booting the Windows Installation from a USB

Thermal paste is difficult to clean but can be done, you just need to be patient, I've done it before with a toothbrush and some alcohol by gently rubbing the socket with a few strands of the toothbrush by utilizing the edge of it at an angle, never put any force on it and after a while it will start to clear up, otherwise if you don't wanna mess with that then send it to a technician to deal with it

No worries already cleaned it with a sewing kit, put everything back together and the PC still acts autistic.
