BIOS is Stuck

Joe Bennett
Go to solution Solved by Electronics Wizardy,

Try taking out the bios batttery, should reset the bios.

Alright, I'm kind of freaking out at this point.I had my pc running, but I was having trouble installing my linux os, so I asked around for some help. Well someone told me to go into bios and turn anything legacy to the opposite. So I did and that was uefi. Well, whatever the check that did, it screwed me over royally. I can't get into my bios settings now at all. The shortcut is delete or F2, but neither are working. It's amost as of I'm not pressing anything at all. I triedpressing the reset button, but that shut the pc down and turned it back on. I see the AS Rock page, and the shortcuts I could use, but nothing works and after like 45 seconds it gives me a black screen with a blinking white underscore. My specs are as follows:

 Two Xeon Oct score Hyper Threaded 2.6 Ghz CUPs

GTX 770 Classified

ASRock Rack EP2C602

8 GB Adata RAM

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

there is a little silver battery about the size of a coin. Pull it out for a minute.

That's it?

There should also be a bios reset jumper somewhere on the board, but the battery thing is a lot easier.

When in doubt, re-format.
