Can't boot into BIOS to enable xmp

Thanks for the suggestions! Turns out I was just a bit of an idiot. It was booting to BIOS, but the display was outputting through hdmi to my tv... which was turned off...🤦‍♂️

I am trying to boot into my bios to enable xmp on my new ram. PC boots fine into windows and shows all ram. I have disabled all forms of fast boot/fast startup and when I try to boot to bios using windows 10 advanced startup options I get post code A6. Press the reset on the case and it boots back into windows just fine. It's the same story when I try the traditional route of spamming delete on startup. Any suggestions on how I could get into BIOS?

While booting, you've tried spamming ESC, f8, f10 and/or Delete? One of those normally does the trick.

 

According to a manual I found, you should be spamming the Delete key... if that doesn't work I'd double check that your keyboard is on and detected while POSTing. (Or that your delete key is at least functioning)
