This NEVER happened before I formatted my SSD and reset my BIOS (Due to windows corruption). Everytime I boot up my PC the American Megatrends thingy shows up, I have to press F1 to enter the regular bios, then hit escape to go out of the bios to start windows.
I never had to do this before. I only had to hit the power button and then the Rog bios would show up a few seconds then windows was loading..

Any suggestions on how I can bypass the F1 thingy? Kinda annoying..
 
Solution
i would recheck the pump and fan cable since you change the sdd one of them could be loose also did you use the corsair link software to check all temp and settings .
It is probably a setting of some kind.

You certainly do have an American Megatrends BIOS, but it shouldn't be displaying anything other than the ROG splash unless there is a problem or you're requesting it to.

When you hit F1, it is giving you a message, what is the reason given for requiring you to manually consent to booting the PC?
 


The only thing that shows up before I hit F1 is the normal stuff you see, and CPU fan error (Even though it works fine and is plugged in correctly). Nothing special shows up in the Asus BIOS after hitting F1 on the american megatrends thingy, only the normal bios
 
"it shows nothing"
"CPU Fan error"

Man there is your problem!! You have a CPU fan error! Again, you're FORCING your PC to start even though it doesn't want to by pressing F1.
Make sure your CPU fan is plugged into its designated slot, and that it is a 4 pin fan as is required.
 
I do want to add that, even if the 4 pin fan is plugged in correctly, and it does appear to be working... it still isn't reporting to your motherboard that it is working.

This is key because when it DOES finally fail fully, your CPU already got the OK to run without it when you hit F1, so you're not going to get any kind of warning and your temps are going to rise. Thermal shutdown SHOULD prevent permanent damage, but i wouldn't risk it.

Replace the CPU fan.
 


So I should replace my H100i?.... (I'll try to see if I see any visible faults, but the cooler works fine now)

 

You're certain you have the little 4pin with the single wire plugged into your CPU fan header on your mobo?

That single wire should send the signal to your mobo that everything is fine.
 


Yup, it's plugged in. NZXT Cam and other monitoring softwares show normal temps and stuff,.. I even tried plugging it out and in, still says the error..
