The most common cause is fast POST or changed display settings that turn on the monitor too late, while other possible causes include broken recovery partitions or turned off UEFI firmware services Below, we have talked about the different solutions to try to fix this problem in no time. Proceed with the method that suits your situation the best.
1. Update BIOS
The first thing that we recommend you try is updating the BIOS version. For this, you will have to head over to the manufacturer’s website and download the latest BIOS file from there. If you built your own computer, then head over to the motherboard manufacturer’s website. Once the file is downloaded, extract its contents (the file will most likely be in ZIP format). It may also contain a README or other text file that will guide you through the process of updating your BIOS. This file contains hardware-specific instructions which you can follow to complete the process. You should now be able to see your BIOS version. Alternatively, you can also access the System Information tab to get this information.
2. Modify the Startup Services Settings
Certain startup services must be enabled for you to access BIOS or the advanced startup menu. In case these services have been edited out, you are likely to face the problem at hand.
3. Use a Key to Access the BIOS
If the conventional ways of accessing the BIOS are not working, then you can also try using a hotkey for this purpose. You can access the BIOS configuration screen by hitting a specific hotkey or combination of keys right after booting the computer (usually immediately after it is powered on). We have a guide on how and what to press to access BIOS Setup Utility on various OEM computer systems, motherboards, and major BIOS brands.
4. Reset the BIOS
As a final step, you can try resetting the BIOS, which will restore the original settings that were in place when the computer was first manufactured. However, it is important to note that resetting the BIOS will clear any changes that were made to the BIOS settings, such as overclocking the CPU or enabling or disabling hardware components. This can help resolve any conflicts between hardware and software that might be occurring due to faulty settings. Since the passwords and custom configurations will also be removed, make sure you back this information up somewhere to implement the changes again once the resetting process is completed. The process to reset the BIOS can vary depending on the specific computer, but here are the general steps: If these steps do not apply to your and you’re unsure about how to reset the BIOS on your specific computer, it is best to consult the user manual or get in touch with the manufacturer for further assistance.
