Maybe Don't Get an Intel Desktop Board

[Guest]

I'm having way too much trouble trying to get it to display video output after several resets and lots of diagnostics.  I'm HOPING a PS2 keyboard will allow me to actually get into the BIOS and restore the defaults so I can boot up again after I screwed something up with my tweaking.  Honestly, I think it is worth it to save up and wait to get a good Micro-ATX board that has updates and default Windows 10 support now.

Didn't intel stop making their own motherboards?

He is probably using a really old intel board.

Have you tried using a dgpu?

Lga 2011 and lga 1150 (non haswell refresh) were the last desktop boards released.

 

They still make a few motherboards, but they are all server boards now, and very little at that even.

Guys guys - I'm using a DZ77SL-50K.  Yes, it's from 2011-2012, somewhere around there.  Yes, I tried via dGPU and onboard graphics.  I don't know how to un-F myself from disabling USB boot and Legacy boot - I thought Intel's built in VisualBIOS recovery feature (to previous working settings) would have fixed it, but nope!  Damn.  I don't have a PS2 Keyboard and tried sticking the Intel BIOS Recovery USB (on a USB 2.0 drive into the motherboard direct USB 2.0 ports on the back with the file formatted in FAT32) and nothing.  All because I didn't want to have to press the power button again at startup because it would hang and I'd have to turn it off again and then it would start Windows 10 as normal.  Turns out that was a mistake.

Intel boards are fine, all user error.

Yes, I know user error, but there should still be a manual reset button or something on the board to get back to its original state.  That would work out so much better.
