I got my new build together and fired it up... Delete Delete Delete Delete BIOS! SUCCESS!!!

 

In order to install my OS, I went straight to boot configuration and chose UEFI USB HARD DISK. I hit Save & Exit, and...

 

Nothing. I cannot get back into BIOS. I keep getting error codes (B4, A6, A2). 

 

WTF happened?

Ok, On the motherboard theres a switch or a jumper to go to BIOS 2. Try to switch and if you need add me on discord.

As far as I can tell, there is no second BIOS on this motherboard. I have tried everything. I don't understand why clearing the CMOS doesn't reset any stupid changes I made. Doesn't that reset to default?  I'm such a Newb, and I have no idea what I've done.

I do not. I'm not even aware of what Discord is. Sorry.

I'll be damned... it was the Displayport. I switched to HDMI and it fired right up. 

Ouch Haha.. Well you fixed it.
