Cannot Enter Bios Using F12 Boot Menu
« on: October 26, 2016, 10:10:22 am »
Hi. Just need a bit of advice please. I can't enter the bios using the F12 boot menu with bios FC and older. I can with bios Fde but it's a beta bios and introduces other problems for me so it's not usable. Gigabyte support said rma the board but now it has no warranty. If something works with one bios and not with another then it's obviously a bios problem. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Use F12 to enter the one time boot menu.

Use DEL to enter BIOS.

Stick with whichever BIOS rev offers you the greatest stability.  Having the latest doesn't = greatest.  I haven't been in the BIOS on most of my machines in well over a year.  Should be set and forget for the most part.

Have you tried using a PS/2 (or different USB) keyboard?
Search. Discovery is curiosity's reward.
