Does anyone know why this screen keeps appearing sometimes?

It only started happening after I downloaded CPU drivers from armory crate months ago. It doesn't appear on regular shut down/restart, it's a little inconsistent.

When it appeared this time it was after a windows update. Anyone know what it means or if it means anything bad?

 

This is what the screen looks like: (specs aren't mine its an image from google)

 

PC booting to the American Megatrends (bios) screen after Shutdown :  r/computerhelp

If you have fastboot on then that's why you don't see that bios screen like ever with exception below.

 

They only appear is because when we press required button like f2 or esc to get into bios setup and they also appear if there's hardware change they occasionally mentions it in bios if hardware is changed.

And it could also appear if it doesn't have keyboard plugged in while it's asking to press f1 button to continue booting.

 

Lastly it may also appear if system hasn't shut down properly or detected a crash.

I'm jank tinkerer if it works then it works.

Regardless of compatibility 🐧🖖

well obviously it has something to do with Armory Crate or the drivers you installed, so that is where to start.

You should post a pic of YOUR screen so we can actually see what info may be getting reported.

oh ok. i had the screen appear again today after waking it up from sleep. my pc didn't boot properly after sleeping so i shut it off from the power button and when i booted it back up that screen appeared again. im not too sure if there's something wrong with my pc or not, but pretty sure armoury crate did something to it and i don't know how to fix it

Yeah the next time it happens i'll take a photo. It happened again today but I didn't take a photo of it, I didn't see any errors on that screen I don't think. 
I don't really know how to fix it or how to stop making it appear because it's happening a little more often now for some reason. I'm not too sure how to undo what I did on armoury crate. Hopefully it won't break my pc
