Can't access my BIOS

Snakkey · January 7, 2017

I have gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 and a FX-6300. I am trying to overclock my CPU to help a little with the GPU bottleneck (I am aware of the bottleneck). I boot up my PC and i press the button to access my BIOS, and it just boots into windows instantly. Why can't i access my BIOS?

Try just holding down the key to enter BIOS as you boot.

If that fails, you could disconnect your boot drive to get into the BIOS and have a look to see if you have fast boot or something similar enabled.

Maybe you are not pressing the right button

I have the same problem. It seems as if my keyboard doesn't "turn on" before I'm already in Windows. What I do is just use another, simpler, keyboard for whenever I need to get into the BIOS.
