r/gigabyte on Reddit: Tried everything and cannot get into Bios
October 18, 2021 -

Editing this post in August 2024 because this post pops up on google a lot for people. Solution that worked for me: Start up was skipping the bios because my primary monitor was either 2k resolution, 165hz or display port. luckily I had a 1080p 60hz hdmi monitor plugged in as well so I just used that and got into bios first go. With my new 3070ti gpu, I can get into bios with the display port monitor now. So it seemed a gpu issue with my very old 960 gpu in the end. You could always click restart to bios and immediately unplug your monitor, wait for 60 seconds, then plug it in and see if you're in. good luck.

I've had my new pc for a few months now. I had this problem since the beginning when I went to change the RAM speed and couldn't reset to Bios or spam the Del key in restart. I had to unplug my m.2 and turn it on without the hard drive plugged in. That was the only way I could get into the BIOS.

I'm currently trying to get into my bios to turn on TPM for windows 11. Things I have tried:
-Holding shift and selecting restart, Trouble shoot, Restart to UEFI firmware settings = just restarting windows normally.
-restarting the computer and spamming delete as fast as I can the entire time = loading windows normally. I've even tried holding delete down the whole time as well.
-downloading app centre - downloading fast boot - selecting Launch UEFI = computer restarting and loading windows normally.

Specs are Gigabyte Z590M gaming X, 16 gb ram, 11600k, Samsung SSD 970 evo plus 1TB, 960 GPU (lol).
So all modern components minus the GPU. Also I've never installed drivers or whatever for the motherboard. Thought people said to avoid that if possible?

I've scoured the internet for solutions and have found nothing. Fast boot in app centre also reckons that Fast boot is disabled on the MB. Maybe its a setting on the BIOS that I need to change? So I might have to unplug the M.2 and change it.
Thanks for your time guys.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Can't access BIOS on Gigabyte Motherboard
June 28, 2023 -

Currently running into some trouble with my motherboard. I am running a gigabyte aorus z690 ax elite mb. Noticed that I cannot access bios through any method it seems. I tried Del and all the function keys one by one and no luck. It should be the Del key according to my motherboard's manual. I was able to access it when first configuring the new motherboard. Last I was able to get to BIOS was when adding a m.2 ssd a few months ago. I also disconnected the boot drive and nothing at all. Just get no signal found on both monitors on boot. The motherboard does have a troubleshoot light that shows no boot found so it should be defaulting to BIOS. Any thoughts on this?

Specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Z690 AX Elite

CPU: Intel I5-12600k

GPU: Nvidia GTX Titan X

Memory: 2x 16 gig sticks

Storage: Samsung 256 gig 2.5" sata ssd (boot drive), 1 TB m.2 ssd, some offbrand 256 gig 2.5" sata ssd I got free from microcenter.

r/techsupport on Reddit: How to enter BIOS for Gigabyte AORUS 15P YD laptop
July 3, 2023 -

Dear u/daddy_spez

Hi techsupport.

I am trying to do a clean install of Windows 11 for my Gigabyte AORUS 15P YD. I've created a bootable USB and I want to enter my laptop's (Gigabyte AORUS 15P YD) BIOS to use the USB.

What I've tried: A google search hasn't given me concrete instructions on which button to press when turning the laptop on. The search results would say "generally it's Del or F2". I've tried rapidly pressing those 2 button when I turn on my laptop it's not working. Did Gigabyte disable entering BIOS for their laptops?

resolved

You can access the BIOS from the Windows Settings menu on your computer. To do this, click on the Start menu and go to Settings. Once here, click on “Update”, and then select “Recovery.” Under “Advanced Startup”, select “Restart Now.” This will restart your computer and bring you to the BIOS menu.

March 31, 2025 - Some desktops won't even recognize input from a USB keyboard until after POST is completed (though they will see input from an old PS2-style keyboard). If you can't use a BIOS key and you have Windows 11 or 10, you can use the "Advanced startup" feature to get there.

How to Enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 on GIGABYTE AM4 300/400/500series & sTRX4 TRX40series Motherboards - GIGABYTE Global
On newer AM5 and sTR5 platforms running Windows 11, these features are typically enabled by default. However, on AM4 and sTRX4 platforms running Windows 10, manual configuration may be necessary. In such cases, the system disk must use the GPT partition style and the BIOS must be set to UEFI mode; otherwise, forcing Secure Boot may cause Windows to fail to boot.
