Hello!

 

First, some info. I built this computer 3+ years ago now, and have no idea what is inside. I don't know what Motherboard I have (although I can probably take my computer apart tomorrow to find it, cannot tonight), all I know right now is that it's a Gigabyte Motherboard.

 

I was recently looking into being able to remotely turn on my computer, and discovered Wake on LAN. I tried to boot to my BIOS to enable it, only to find that the BIOS is freezing consistently, and I cannot do anything in it. Every time I try to boot it, it either:

 

1) Will fully load, but then freezes and doesn't take keyboard inputs

 

2) Will only load half of the screen, and just stops, again not accepting keyboard inputs

 

3) Will bring up a blue screen with Gigabyte at the top, and nothing loads, obviously not allowing any keyboard inputs.

 

I have never really messed with anything that could have screwed this up, although the last time I booted the BIOS was well over a year ago now, so anything could have happened.

 

Windows will run fine (well, I have been having issues with Windows 10 and the Display Drivers crashing, but that's another issue that is much less important at the moment), but as soon as I try to boot into the BIOS to do anything, it freezes. Any help?

Thanks!
