    Unplug SSD.

    Unseat NVME drive.

    Problemo solved

    That happens to me all the time. It’s so frustrating.

  3. Haha just happened to me . This is depressing to restart again

    Actually PCs are set to fast boot by default. You can interrupt this by pressing shift while pressing the restart button, or interrupt the boot process 3 times to get to the boot menu

    Enter bios from OS, Turn off the ultra fastboot

    That’s why we Linux users use boot loader. They have an option for entering the BIOS, without smashing the keys.

  7. You can just hold the keys usually. Also on Windows you can use the “advanced reboot” in settings.

  8. go to command line then type “shutdown /r /o /t 0” this should make your pc go into advanced startup which you can go to bios from

  9. It still shocks me that people are trying to enter to BIOS like this.

    Just hold shift while pressing the restart button in windows > troubleshoot > advanced options > UEFI

    I spent 2k on a pre built to realize 2 years later that they gave me an HDD. So pissed

    This makes no sense… It’s so easy to enter the bios. It’s perfectly fine with an SSD, NVME or otherwise.

  12. We’re at a point now where Windows needs a reboot into BIOS option somewhere (not the Start menu). If such a thing already exists then it needs to be a tad more obvious.

    lol. my bios now always opens on its own as I have an issue with mobo or my m.2
    let’s see how long my system will still boot.

    I just spam delete as soon as my keyboard leds come on lol

  15. I usually spam f2 at around 7-10 presses per second as soon as I click the restart button

  16. HumonculusJaeger

    just boot without drive to go into bios.

    My mobo have a delay before actually booting, it’s pretty helpful.

    you can restart into bios from windows

    on win11 go to settings > windows update > advanced options > recovery and click “restart now” at advanced startup

    or go to command line then type “shutdown /r /o /t 0” as [TLTGAN](https://www.reddit.com/user/TLTGAN/) pointed out

    i have SATA SSD, never had problem like this

  20. MidnightWineRed

    The amount of people that believe that an SSD has any influence on the POST time is too high.

    Shift+restart

    in windows press restart button while holding shift

  22. sparda4glol

    Sir do you not need to horde your data though? Still rocking 5 hdds to raid off of.

  23. Dylan_Is_Gay_lol

    Gigabyte motherboards have a desktop app that will let you alter BIOS configuration.

  24. ZoharDTeach

    You can tell your system to reboot into the bios. You don’t even have to hold a key anymore.

    Why would a hard drive have any effect on the mobo splash screen? Lol

  26. DogToursWTHBorders

    Im a holdout from the olden golden days of hard drives. I chose an hdd for my covid build, despite having slots for a solid one. =/

    Dont make my mistake. With a 10 core 10850k and a 3060 12 gigger, i’m still waiting on skyrims loading screens.

    Skyrim. =( yeah.

  27. Plaston_

    Use a PS2 keyboard its easieralso on some pc you can maintain the key pressed to boot bios onstead of hammering
