Bad BIOS?

[Xenon54]

AMD Athlon X4 880k @4.5Ghz

GTX 1050 EVGA FTW

F2A88X-D3HP motherboard 

Stock cooler 

Running for about a year 

Tried clearing CMOS; checked battery; Used different RAM, GPU, and PSU; new thermal compound as of last night 

 

Once powered on 

blank screen no output then reboots after a few seconds

go's to normal splash screen but is unable to go to BIOS settings

then go's to this screen

 

then stays for about 3-5 seconds then reboots and starts over

It started when I was watching an LTT video, video froze with windows 10 home. Tried control-alt-delete, nothing happened. used 4 second power button force shutdown then rebooted and these problems started.

Windows was running Gigabyte BIOS utility in the background 

What should I do? Motherboard does have dual BIOS

Try using the secondary BIOS and see if it boots.

How do I use secondary BIOS?

A switch might be present on the board. Honestly, I can only tell you to reference your manual unless someone else can give you other information because they own a relatively recent Gigabyte board.

I shorted pins 1 and 6 on the main BIOS chip while the screen above was displayed it corrupted the BIOS and then re flashed the main BIOS and is now working like normal thanks!
